You don’t need a diagnosis to start paying attention. If any of the following sound familiar, it may be worth a conversation with your doctor:
☐ I wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep.
☐ I experience frequent morning headaches.
☐ I struggle with daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating.
☐ Someone has noticed pauses in my breathing while I sleep.
If you checked one or more of these boxes, don’t assume it’s simply part of getting older. Talk to your primary care provider or a board-certified sleep medicine specialist — many evaluations today start with a simple telemedicine visit.
