You have to go to see a sleep specialist, who will schedule you for a "sleep lab".  It's better than it used to be, as some of the technology is wireless now, and they have ways to do it without having glue stuck on your head for a few days while it washes out in the shower :-o, but the procedure is akin to being part of an alien abduction experiment!  There are many electrodes and wires put on your body, and even more on your head.  It's not a pleasant experience.  Still, it's worth it if it helps you get better rest.

I find that how well I sleep depends on how clear my sinuses are.  If they are clogged up, sleeping will be difficult and sleep quality will be poor.  I have also had significant problems adhering to a sleep schedule.  I have often have trouble going to sleep AND getting out of bed in the morning.

George, do you snore at night, and does your sponse, loved one or family members notice you stop breathing?

With me, because I was single (and still am), no one had mentioned that I stopped breathing while I slept until my parents finally mentioned it one day.  I knew, however, that I snored, and very, very loudly.
