Sleep Study: You may have an underlying sleep disorder like obstructive sleep apnea. This condition is extremly common and leads to a number of problems besides daytime sleepiness. Among the problems are high blood pressure, heart problems, depression, low sex hormones and obesity. Ask your doctor about a sleep study also known as polysomnography. You might be amazed at the results.
