Possible Sleep Apnea: The symptoms and sleepiness during the day can be symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, which most people don't even know they have. A sleep physician can do a sleep study to diagnose for sure. The treatment is the use of a CPAP machine or an oral appliance that a highly trained dentist can make for you.
