I can breathe through my nose fine during the day, but it plugs when I lie down at night making it difficult to breathe through my nose. My wife tells me I don't snore and she has never caught me gasping for air while sleeping (though she says I sometimes make funny noises breathing). I usually get 7 hours of sleep, but most always feel significant levels of fatigue throughout the day. Could I have sleep apnea even though I don't snore? Possibly another medical condition?
