I've had daytime sleepiness for about 5 years and my Dr always assumed it was a symptom of depression. However I'm told I snore and in the day I've found myself waking suddenly with a snort, indicating obstructive sleep apnea.
It seems this is the prime cause of daytime sleepiness and can actually cause depression, rather than vice versa.
I've just found a herbal remedy for snoring (don't trust herbal remedies usually, you never know what's in them) called SNORENZ. Perhaps it's peculiar to New Zealand hence the "NZ". After one night's trial though I certainly feel more awake, but it may be placebo. Has anyone had experience with apnea causing psych symptoms and sleepiness?
