Awake 42 times, Im exhausted

[Mummo]

I am averaging about 8 hours sleep a night but exhausted. ALL. THE. TIME.

I just had my bloods checked and I'm ok there.

This was a "good" nights sleep. I apparently woke up 42 times. The big wake up in the middle was a cat fight outside but I don't remember the others.

Should I be asking to be checked for sleep apnoea?

It never hurts to get it checked, specially when you are concerned. Also we cannot give medical advice here.

I would however not be concerned about the amount of times you woke up. It is something I never checked before. I just checked my sleep log and I wake up 30 times a night according to FitBit. Yet I do feel rested most of the time. I am not yet confident you actually wake up or if you happen to move a little more as you transition from one stage to the next or one position to another.

If you do make the hours, yet you feel exhausted you can try increasing the hours (you might need more than the average person) or discuss it with a doctor.

Well I saw my doctor and after having blood tests come back clear I saw a specialist and had an oximeter test overnight. I don't know yet what it showed but I have to go in for a full appointment but cant get in until September.

So all I know right now is that something isn't right, but I don't know what and I don't know how bad.
