Look-up UARS (Upper Respiratory Resistance Syndrome) Highly under diagnosed. Home sleep study will be negative. Not an obese old guy problem. Shows negative for apnea but destroys your deep & REM sleep. Start here.. The Walking Dead: Sleep-Deprived Zombies Are For RealHmm, yes, sleep is a huge issue for me. I wake up feeling just as tired and bleak as i did before i went to sleep. Got a sleep study, that was normal. Perhaps my gerd is causing sleep issues? Funny that you mention hypothyroid. That was THE first thing my doctors tested for, due to my symptoms. My thyroid tests came back perfectly normal my diet is bad, cant really afford a varied, dense, well thought our diet. Probably to constipated to eat it either...thank you for your suggestion. Will try the potatoes
