Given that you get 6 hours of sleep and are not tired/foggy during the day I'd say it's unlikely you have sleep apnea.

Theres some level of being always tired and just being attuned to it. Not putting that diagnosis on parent, but I'd put myself in that bucket, and I'd wager its easy for old hackers like me who spent a lot of nights exploring/working/studying to the point of exhaustion during their teens and twenties.

I had this discussion on HN almost 10 years ago (wow, I'm old) and 'iamelgringo --- a (former?) ER nurse --- shut me down pretty hard.

iamelgringo’s comment was pretty convincing. Thanks for referencing it.
