To anyone not aware of sleep apnea it wouldn’t seem like there was anything wrong with my sleep. I don’t snore, I just don’t breathe continuously when unconscious.

It took about 2 years to fully recover mentally from decades of this shitty sleep. I only found out from visiting my parents and my mom saw me not breathing while I was asleep on the couch. I’ve also had 6 sleep studies in 11 years to try and figure out why it is happening but it is idiopathic.

I can’t remember what people on Reddit with UARS found to be the best treatment but the biggest step always seemed to be getting a doctor to diagnose it properly instead of just signing it off at regular sleep apnea. I hope you find a treatment that helps. The brain can bounce back, so don’t give up hope that you can get your mind back.
