What your ticks may mean
In many people who have these symptoms, broken sleep from snoring, a blocked nose or sleep apnea is part of the cause. Thyroid, low iron, vitamin D and sugar levels should also be checked.
See a doctor soon if
You ticked any red flag or four or more boxes. Ask about a sleep study and an ENT check of the nose and throat.
