According to a recent sleep study, this is what I have been diagnosed with and it would definitely explain my absolute need for 8+ hours of sleep a night and then still having frequent daytime tiredness - none of which is particularly helpful when you have a 7 months old bub!

Whilst I feel that this could be a direct result of the pregnancy weight that I have gained (I have lost 13kgs, but still need to lose another 8kgs before I am at the top of my healthy weight range), it wouldn't explain why I have always needed at least 8 hours of sleep and, if given the chance, could easily sleep up to 12 hours per day! Either way I need to lose the rest of the weight and intend to and hope that this resolves the problem.

So I am in the process of trying to get an appointment with a sleep specialist so that they can appropriately analyse my sleep study findings and suggest ways in which to improve the condition.

In the meanwhile, however, I am after some tip from ladies who have the same problem. What did the specialists tell you to do? Have you found any strategies helpful?

Please note that this is only mild and not CPAP-worthy!

Thanks so much
