I am happy to see that you two are in synch and that you look after each other so closely. Have either of you been tested for obstructive or central sleep apnea? It was the last test for me when all others were ruled out. I went to an over night sleep lab and had a full polysomnography. That revealed that I have severe OSA. Surprised the heck outta me, but it's being controlled very well by a CPAP machine.

@gloaming
I was a medic in the AF during the Vietnam War so have some medical knowledge. We both worked at Mayo after my military service for several years. The sleepnumber bed we have with the app on our phones can also monitor for sleep apnea but we don't have that.
