I never knew my daughter had a reason for not being able to sleep. I always thought she was spending too much time on her computer or cell phone, behind the closed door to her bedroom and concerned about the dark under eye circles she has had for years. It turns out that she has sleep apnea due to the physical construction of her nasal passages.
Her Otolaryngologist (ENT Specialist) now has her taking meds to help her breathe properly at night. It just goes to show that there might be a serious problem lurking beneath that little button nose that looks so cute (even at age 23).
I'd just like to know why it took so long for her doctors to take notice! Thank goodness for her ENT; he has been very proactive in her care ever since he started treating her for fibrous cysts on her throat.

But, that's another story.
