#2When I read the first lines of the article, “sleep apnea” already jumped to my mind. Good for the author of finding and fixing the root cause of his sleep deprivation. No ways a few hours of sleep could be normal.

#5Okay, serious question: The author of this blog post sleeps with his partner, and then discovered he spent 20 seconds of each minute gasping for breath, 40 times per hour. (Something like ~this). How did his wife not notice and tell him? Now I'm paranoid that I have sleep apnea.
What's the cheapest wearable or device that can probably tell you if you have apnea?

> or my compassionate and frequently anxious wife, would rouse me with the words, "WAKE UP, YOU'RE NOT BREATHING!"
She did notice. The people I have known with sleep apnea were originally alerted by their partners walking them to tell them they’re not breathing.
The article mentions the Withings Sleep Analyzer. Is about US$130.

Not a doctor but an audio recording of a night of sleep could help while you wait for a different device.
