scared to sleep: aponea?

[James1983]

over the last week or so i have been getting this and now i am really worried! i have had a few occasions of bad snoring/jumping awake feeling i cant breathe properly and also just when i drift off i seem to be getting jolted awake like my brain cant relax or something. tonight i am scared to try and sleep :weep: if its not one thing its another.

anyone on here having the same thing?

Yep, same thing, sometimes it happens once or twice, other times it can happen 5+ times, until I'm so tired I fall asleep. It's most likely sleep apnea. It's not pleasant, and it should be treated, so try to set up for a sleep study. Then on the other hand, if it's not happening so regularly, and if you don't notice it a couple of weeks later, it might have just been anxiety.
