Can sleep apnea cause daytime sleepiness like dropping off to sleep in conversation

Apnea can cause you to lose needed sleep. So you will feel drowsy and tired during the day. Sleep apnea can be serious. Please see your doctor for an evaluation.

The answer to your question is yes. See this web site from the Mayo Clinic for more information.

I could go to sleep at a stop sign. But with treatment you can fix it.

Norman,

Yes, this is true.  I was very bad about falling asleep during a conversation. 

It frustrated my friends to no end.  I was so bad, that I could start to answer a question, fall asleep for a couple of minutes, awake up and finish answering the question, and not even know I fell asleep.

They often joked that I had a button on my butt.  Every time I sat down, I turned off.  LOL

I got treated, and got rid of the "conversation interrupt" problem.  I have a list of other sleep apnea symptoms that you are welcome to look at.

You should get this checked.
