A short YouTube clip (shorts) by Ashok Gupta addressing whether fatigue may be caused by sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. He advises viewers to see a doctor for formal testing but also explains that, in some cases, disordered sleep results from an overactive brain and nervous system (hyperarousal).
