Question: I Don't Know...Is This SLEEP APNEA???My friend said that everytime she sleeps over (she ususally stays up later, and gets up earlier then me) she says I'll sit up like I'm awake, and then fall back to sleep. Sometimes I'll do it more than others.I asked a question about that earlier, and one person said it's sleep apnea. The next day I asked my friend if I had been breathing really hard, and she said no, and I asked if I wasn't breathing at all, and she said yes. I don't know if she's right about that, or was just saying that because I asked, but she didn't know what sleep apnea was anyway.I usually sleep 10 1/2-12 hours when I can sleep in. I'm 12 years old. Do you think I have sleep apnea??
Answer: As your friend if you snore loudly. That is a huge sign. The stopping breathing is a sign you might have it, but sleep apnea is very common in the human race. It's only when you have a serious condition is when you need medical treatment.About the waking up, then falling to sleep again, that would not be related to sleep apnea. Like someone else suggested, it may be sleep disturbances.
