These symptons are indicative of obstructive sleep apnea - especially given your weight. I recommend asking your doctor to give you a sleep study test (polysomnography) to help diagnose your sleep problems

I agree with phoebe. I had the symptoms you cite and was eventually diagnosed with sleep apnea.
