I had been terminated from a job that was in my field. I had to move back in with my parents.
It seemed the responses were computer picked from a list - didn't seem quite natural
Those aspects were fine.

Question
I had the job for 14 months and I drank a lot before bed which was usually about 1 am. The job was second shift. The drinking affected my REM sleep and I was often tired the next day.

I had a sleep study done soon after and was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea which was the main reason I would fall asleep at work.

I have been using a CPAP for 6 years and have dramatically reduced my drinking. It is amazing how refreshed I am all day now compared with any day during that time even the days I didn't drink because there were overall health effects that stayed with me.
