My mother has it. She went to a hospital about two years ago to get tested, since she too, was always tired.
You probably already know this, but a common way of dealing with SA is breathing through a mask connected to a machine called a CPAP at night while they're asleep (I know there are different types that I think have different acronyms, but I'm not positive as to what they are.) My mom said it took a while to get used to, but once she did, it wasn't something she really thought about too much. It doesn't really affect you at all when you're not asleep, so I guess it's not a tremendous life change, overall. But talking to him and giving reassurance will always be helpful, I'd imagine.
I don't know what else to tell you since I don't have SA myself, but I thought I'd post and let you know I do have someone close to me that has it and if you have any more questions, I can ask them and maybe help out more.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
