Thank you for your prompt response. I have wondered for a long time if I am getting restorative sleep. I feel like I dream throughout most of the night and there tends to be more stressful dreams than pleasant dreams. I will have to look into the sleep apnea.

Your sleep struggles are common. My first concern is whether you are getting any restorative sleep. That means sleep with REM phases.
Do you have anybody who can watch you sleep? It would be a good start if someone could watch you sleep for a few hours. My concern is whether you are breathing properly.
Your horse-fall concussions likely have left your upper neck messed up. This can lead to autonomic nervous system malfunctions. The result can be Central Sleep Apnea. You body may not be pulling breaths properly during the night. If this is the case, you will wake up feeling exhausted.
Do you dream? What kind of dreams? Pleasant or stressful?
Tell us more about your symptoms/struggles. There is lots of experience on NT.
Mt best to you.
