Never feel I've had enough sleep...?

Question

Almost every single morning, when I wake up I feel that I have not had enough sleep, It doesn't matter if I've been sleeping for 4 hours or 14, I always wake up groggy and feel that I need to go back to sleep. I often spend the rest of the day yawning and feeling tired and irritable. Does anyone know what could be wrong with me?

Thanks, Rachael.

It's called sleep apnea. It's a sleeping disorder. I know I have it. What it is. It's when you get relaxed there's a flap (don't remember name) in you're throat. When you sleep it closes (not suppose to) It causes you're in flow of air to stop. Causing you're mind to wake and tell you're body to breath. SYMPTOMS Include: Waking with a headache,Always tired, Severe snoring, Involuntary muscle spasms while relaxing, Waking with body parts still asleep. You really need to get a sleep study done. You're local hospital can help with that. Insurance does cover test. It CAN kill you if not treated.
