How can a person know if they have sleep apnea if they live alone and don't know if they snore?

A sleep study: There are other clues. Not feeling refreshed on waking up in the morning and daytime sleepiness/fatigue despite adequate number of hours of sleep. Early morning headache, waking up at night with a sensation of gasping/choking. Waking up during the night for no apparent reason and insomnia could be due to sleep apnea. Being overweight also is a risk factor. A sleep study may be needed to confirm.

Sleep apnea: Are you overweight, are you tired, do you fall asleep in front of tv or in the car. You need to see a sleep specialist.
