    It can also be indicative of a sleep disorder. This was basically how I figured out I had sleep apnea. Well, that, and seeing my O2 level drop into the 80s every time they took me off oxygen while I was recovering from a surgery.

        Oof, sorry to hear that. Yeah, it's no fun. If you can get a sleep study and get on CPAP therapy, do it ASAP -- no amount of sleep aids will help you if you're literally suffocating on your own soft palate when you sleep.

        If you want to verify before going to a sleep doc, you can get a cheap saturated O2 monitor on Amazon or something -- there are even some that have Bluetooth/smartphone connectivity and a recording feature so you can plot a graph of your blood oxygen levels throughout the night. If you see huge drops <90-92, and you know that you snore, that's a big damn red flag, and not the kind that we like around here. Good luck, and if you live in the US, I'm sorry; there isn't a DIY homebrew frontier medicine solution for this one, unless you can get your hands on a grey market CPAP/BiPAP machine for cheap. I know some places will sell without a prescription/insurance if you buy what are technically unassembled parts, but yeah... Then you have to program the damn thing with no diagnostic data to use as a starting point.

        Sorry this turned into a "tell me you hacked your CPAP machine without saying you hacked a CPAP machine" post. lol
