I get AFIB, and have sleep Apnea. I do all the things mentioned here to help get a good nights sleep, and them some. I also wear an Apple Watch to monitor my sleep, so I know when I don’t get a good sleep.

Upon waking one morning in 2014, I experienced my first and only episode of atrial fibrillation that sent me to the hospital emergency room. When seeking a diagnosis, the doctor asked if I consumed energy drinks or used recreational drugs. I answered no to both questions. It was when I mentioned feeling very tired during the day and yawning quite a bit that he sent me for a sleep study. It determined that I had moderate to severe sleep apnea. CPAP therapy was then prescribed and cured me of not only AFib, but also the daytime tiredness and migraine headaches that plagued me for many years.
