    it sounds like you're dreaming or you've woken up before your body has physically awaken. sleep apnea is when you temporarily stop breathing while you sleep (check out webmd.com). so, no your symptoms are not those of sleep apnea.

    It would have a thing or two to do with what happened to you when you were young. The only treatment for sleep apnea is something called a CPAP. it is O2 that you where as a mask at night. Some people can't tolerate it. It would help much though until your older.

    About 60% of the persons suffering from sleeping problems are overweight , so weight reduction, avoiding alcohol or sedatives before sleeping or mechanical devices which keep the windpipe open may be prescribed by doctors.More details and remedies at http://nosleep.in/sleepapnea.html

    no I think you're just taking longer to wake up. people with sleep apnea don't know they have it because they don't wake up enough to be conscious of their surroundings. when you wake up, just breathe deeply and lie still for a moment or two til you have control of your muscles.
