Quality of sleep: The quality of sleep is just as important as the amount of sleep. For example, if you have sleep apnea and you sleep alone, no one is every going to tell you that you snore, stop breathing, and then wakeup. You may not know that this is happening. However, during the day you will be feeling the effects of waking up frequently throughout the night despite that are you are "asleep" for 8-10 hours.

Sleep test: All of your symptoms may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
