It seems to me like the whole medical profession is a big celebration of having an ego problem. Some doctors carry themselves with so much hubris it's hard to imagine some of them making ANY rational decisions at all, and all their processes, right down to how medical records are kept, seem geared around expecting obedience from the patient without revealing enough details for scrutiny to be applied.

Compare that against professions like engineering where a few notorious failures have led to the presence of cognitive biases in decision making being at least acknowledged to a degree.

I think I might have one of those, what did you do to fix it?

Just ask your Doctor for a sleep assessment and they'll work out what's going on because there is a range of issues people can get.

I'd rather not get into mine, but I was the worst case they'd ever seen, lol

Yeah I'm not sure if I can even get in to see a doctor right now, lol. I'm unvaxed and absolutely refuse to wear a fag gag under any circumstance, literally have been living under mask mandates for 2 years and have never put one on and I don't plan on doing so now.

I just know I snore and sometimes it's pretty bad. I'm not overweight by any means, I'm actually in very good shape, but I've always had trouble breathing through my nose so I think what happens is when I fall asleep I automatically start mouth breathing haha, which leads to me snoring and fucks up my quality of sleep.

If it's snoring then it might be linked to sleep apnoea and you might need a CPAP machine?

record yourself sleeping, if you stop breathing and then suddenly restart then that's the brain waking you up slightly. But just snoring isn't ideal, there's lots of options available for it from nose clips to surgery
