Have you been checked for sleep apnea? If you keep waking up throughout the night, it's a good idea to get checked.

What exactly is sleep apnea?
When your tongue relaxes during sleep, it can fall back into the throat and block your airway. This triggers the breathing pauses, gasping, and loud snoring characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea
Thanks. I haven't been checked. People always mention this though, so maybe it's common. But some people are just bad sleepers even without sleep apnea?
