I wonder how many of us have this. I'm told I snore and stop breathing during the night. It's the most likely explanation for day-time sleepiness. If you've never had this it may sound unimportant, but it makes life desparately difficult. OSA is very common, particularly in people over 50, and is said to cause all sorts of things, eg depression. So my question is: is poor sleep, perhaps caused by OSA, the cause of some of our symptoms? Or is poor sleep the result of anxiety and depression? Maddeningly OSA seems to correlate strongly with insomnia
