Lack of oxygen to the brain is no laughing matter - if you have apnea, you should address it.
never got it checked but maybe I should. I just figured I had it since reading up about apnea and it describes what I get sometimes when I sleep.

It seems to happen only when Im just falling asleep. like deep sleep. maybe 30 mins to an hour or 2 into my sleep. Il wake up with a loud snort or choking sound. fall back asleep and it happens again. like 1-5x. its really rare though I might get it like 1-3 days every few months.

might be worth checking out I guess. I presume you gotta get referred by ur family doctor?

Im just hoping its because I usually sleep in the day and my sleeps fucked lol. just got a new bed recently and got off the mary jane, so im gonna see if it occurs for the next few months. hopefully not
