Default OT--Lately that C looks pale when he first gets up in the morning

But then as the morning goes on he pinks up (within an hour at most). I was at first thinking maybe his iron levels were low but I don't think he'd pink up as the day goes on if that was the case. DH said he thinks C has sleep apnea and to tell him to take a lot of deep breaths when he looks pale (and that maybe we should get him a sleep study done). And BTW when I say he looks pale, I mean his skin, his lips, and even his gums--not completely colorless, of course, but paler than usual.

Can sleep apnea cause you to be pale? I'd think if he didn't have enough oxygen he would look blue not just pale (as he was way back when he had true apnea as preemie).
