for recurrent depression. i have both kinds of apnea and disrupted sleep has been part of all the big depressions that i have had. pregnancy and babies. 5 a.m. jobs. 2 a.m. jobs. kids.
i feel like i have half a chance to stay above ground now that i pretty much sleep as much as i need to.

and it is a well documented fact that some people have strange biological clocks. my son was a free runner, but he got really strict with himself, and he is on the straight and narrow now and on his was to grad school. it was a fight for him. a big one.

there are actually other test besides the doctors tests. my daughter has one of these that she uses a lot-http://www.fitbit.com/flex

DH bought me one, but i am in splint for carpal tunnel, and dont feel like going through the set up.

anyway, hang in there. one foot in front of the other.
