2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Get a sleep study. This sounds like a sleep disorder. Especially if you also take naps easily throughout the day.
I've always had shit sleep patterns, insomnia as far back as kindergarten. I did eventually get a sleep study done and shocker I have sleep apnea. I got a CPAP and the doc pumped it up so hard. I had facial hair so finding a mask that fits wasn't easy. Also, I'm a side/stomach sleeper, and if I'm on my back in bed I'll be side awake for hours. So I tried the CPAP for a couple months.
It still woke me up at 2-3 am every single night, and I had dreams about suffocating. Never used it again
If I'm being honest, I definitely sleep better with the CPAP. But that mask is so fucking annoying I've given up on it. Blasts of air in my eyes at 2 am or waking up with the salty bottom of the mask in my mouth... I just couldn't do it anymore.
I can't nap haha! Yeah it must be. I'm not overweight and I'm pretty healthy so I didnt think it could be sleep apnea but it could I suppose
