Tommy Tiernan diagnosed with sleep apnea after spending night in hospital

Tommy Tiernan has revealed that he has been diagnosed with sleep apnea after spending the night in hospital earlier this week.

The Meath comedian explained on the most recent episode of The Tommy, Hector and Laurita Podcast that he had been waking up feeling very tired every morning and desperate for fresh air so he went to see a specialist in hospital about it. Tommy explained how the examination involved him being strapped up to several machines to monitor his sleep.

He said: "I had to get this sleep apnea thing checked out. The question was do I or do I not have sleep apnea because sleep apnea is not just snoring, sleep apnea is where your body isn't getting enough oxygen."
