    If you get checked for sleep apnoea, be prepared to surrender your driving licence until you can prove its been resolved.

    That usually for group 2 licenses and if it really affects day time activity


    But as per government website you should also report for group 1 as well

    Not so, your GP goes through a checklist with you to check symptoms, and wether you have to surrender your licence really depends on what symptoms are checked off.
    My OH remained safe to drive, as its a nighttime obstructive thing.

    Yes I would constantly bang on the wall as loudly as you snore.

    GP checklist aside it's mandatory to report to the DVLA and go through their medical process.

    Might be a night time condition but causes day time sleepiness due to frequent waking each time they stop breathing. This sleepiness can be the cause of the licence loss, is for my hubby.

    Can you put your bed on a different wall? Might make a difference.

    Soundproof your flat/bedroom?

    Do you have bare floorboards/hard flooring? Can you get a decent underlay and carpet?

    Definitely see your doctor.

    Thanks for the replies. They have caused a change in attitude and I am now looking into addressing my snoring problem. Have ordered a CPAP machine for sleep apnoea and will endeavor to not live in a flat soon, if that's possble. (Living in a detached house is probably unrealistic in the foreseeable future, though.)

    Don’t just start using a CPAP machine without seeing your GP!
