Sleep apnea testing and being put on continuous positive air pressure (CPAP)is one of the best things that happened to me for insomnia. I was taking afternoon naps to get through 'til bedtime.

It's REM sleep that "charges" our "battery", and if we aren't getting that we're subject to fatigue--big time--loss of energy and weakness. It's better to be safe and sure than to risk not knowing if we have sleep apnea. A lung specialist or your general practitioner can recommend that you undergo testing.

It's covered by medicare and probably your health insurance, as well. If not, it can be somewhat expensive, but worth every penny you might spend to get your sleep schedule adjusted.

I had moderate sleep apnea, and I can tell you that I never get sleepy in the afternoon and never take naps. Once in a while I'll have insomnia, but it's related to too much acidity and an Alkaseltzer will help with that or aspirin or the "lemon thing".

Please take care of your electrical system.
