You may well not be a morning person, but you should be feeling OK once you have been up for a while. You sound as if you feel much worse than would be accounted for by that.
There is a distinct possibility you have sleep apnea, and you need a sleep study to check this out.
Even if you don't snore you can still have the problem.
You may well be entirely unaware of stopping breathing and think you are all right, but feeling unrefreshed is one of the symptoms as is waking with a headache...it comes back to me that you have mentioned headaches in another posting, which would fit.
Now I have been to look at that other posting of yours on this matter and words of great wisdom have been said to you already about sleep apnea. I guess you are hoping for a less troublesome diagnosis or for some reason don't want to face apnea as a possibility?
Sleep apnea doesn't just go away, it is damaging to your health and you really might be surprised how much better you feel if you are treated for it, usually by a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine.
If a sleep study rules out apnea, then you can relax about that possibility, but you will never know if you don't get tested, nor will you feel better without treatment if it is the cause of your problems.
Do I guess from your posting name you just might be carrying around some extra weight??? Cpap can actually help people loose weight as when they are treated they they have more energy and are more active!
You have nothing to loose from getting a sleep study and so much to gain if it is the cause of your problems, I know it takes effort to go see someone about it, but you really could benefit more thanyou might believe, I wish you good luck in your search for a cure, it could happen!
