Sleep Apnea: You likely have sleep apnea. It is likely dud to an obstruction of your airway related to your weight. It is also likely not only when you start to fall asleep ,but multiple times during the night. This results in poor sleep, and can cause many problems, including obesity. Please see your doctor to get an evaluation for this started, treatment can change and save you life.
