For the past 5 years I've had really bad quality of sleep as in i wake up feeling unrefreshed with an achy neck and shoulders.
I've had a full sleep test at the hospital that came back negative for sleep apnea. Results did show that I was getting lots of sleep awakenings, micro-arousals, which is why I feel so rubbish when I wake up.
Consultant didn't really know why this was happening and didn't know what to do with me but gave me some melatonin but that didn't really help. That was 18m ago and I've done another sleep study test with another test as well where I need to nap every few hours. I also had to wear a watch 2 weeks prior which tracked my activity.
I'm still waiting for my results.
In the meantime I've been googling and came across something called UARS and wondered if I have that. There's not tonnes of info online and wondered if anyone else has it and what were your symptoms and how did you get diagnosed?
