Yes: If you wake up feeling tired, are tired during the day, fall asleep watching tv or movies, feel like you want to nap then you may have a sleep disturbance such as sleep apnea. A consultation with a sleep disorders specialist is indicated. Most ENT doctors are well trained in apnea and can evaluate your airway as well.

Possible: It is possible to have sleep apnea with the symptoms that you describe but not likely. A more detailed history might point in a different direction. Talk to a sleep specialist or to your primary care doctor.

Yes: Sleep apnea is also known as sleep disordered breathing. Unfortuneately, you could be having this go on and not no it at all. Please go see a sleep physician and they will be able to find out if you need a sleep study. This is the only way to know for sure.
