Hello everyone. im new here. Ive noticed i think i have sleep apnea. Ive had sleep problems for years but this is a new issue for me.

Recently i’ve been waking up super early (5/6am). Eventually i start to drift back to sleep but am immediately wakened by myself making a loud snorting noise. It never happens when im starting to sleep initially- only in the very early morning.

im 45, a bit overweight but take regular exercise. ive never had a problem with snoring. i always sleep on my side- never on my back.

Can someone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?

Kind Regards Michael
