I hate mornings. I always have. It started when I was an infant and my mom worried I was "abnormal". I guess I am.
I suffer from atypical depression and parnate works well, but I dream way too much and feel like crap in the morning. It's like I've been awake half the night because of my dreams.
My doc suggested I go for a sleep study, and they diagnosed me with mild sleep apnea. I'm not sure I'm buying it though because it was all they talked about on my initial visit and at the sleep lab. Every question that I filled out on the chart that did not pertain to sleep apnea was kind of "glossed over". And, since my mom has it, they were sure I have it too.
What is funny is the lady observing me all night said I did dream a "whole lot" and I moved around during that period. She said she didn't see too many episodes where I quit breathing, but when they called with my results, that is all they mentioned.
I do suggest a sleep study for anyone who feels like crap in the AM, but don't let them put you into a cubbyhole.
I am not going forward with treatment until I've seen the test results and have someone else look at them. Ugh.
