I am considering surgery with moderate sleep apnea after not being able to tolerate Cpap. With mouth guards I have mild sleep apnea (AHI ~10) but I still do not always wake feeling rested, ready to concentrate and tackle the day.
I noticed when I fall asleep and sleep somewhat well (like when I was tolerating and keeping cpap on or some nights with my mouth guard), there are times I have trouble staying asleep more than 4-6 hours. I would wake somewhat refreshed but not fully refreshed. I don't really feel like getting up and doing things and having quite enough energy to do things. Im not sure if this is ADHD or anxiety related to worrying about not being fully awake for later events.
One concern I have is that if I have surgery, will I be able to stay alseep if my sleep quality is better? Sometimes I worry the sleep is just an escape and I want to be able to sleep longer. I guess my goal is productivity and energy, just worried i'll be stuck between better sleep and only being able to sleep 3-4 hours. Is this something psychological or a legitimate concern? Is there likely a nutritional or medication type solution?
Thanks again.
