Usually it starts with severe snoring.  When is it severe?  Ask your wife.  Also, with that is significant somnolence.  Somnolence = sleepiness, but is often confused with fatigue.

Another way is by simply measuring your neck.  A neck circumference of over 18 (or maybe 18.5) is an indicator it's likely.  There was a proposal to have all truck drivers have their necks measured at their DOT physical and referred for sleep studies if it was too big.  Don't know what happened to that.
