Sleep issues: There are many ways to deal with sleep problems related to anxiety.  One is to take time before sleep to unwind and have a routine that supports sleep.  Avoid caffeine, and practice relaxation prior to going to bed.  Do not use the bedroom for activities that are not conducive to sleep..No computer, tv or other activities that may hinder your rest.  Be sure to have a comfortable pillow and bed.

Question 4

are there any natural ways that can treat sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

Natural vs ?????: Talk to a sleep dentist or physician about therapy. Osa is primarily an anatomical  disorder. Treatment can include weight loss, physical or air-splinting of the airway. All methods seek to prevent collapse of the airway during sleep (like a straw stuck in a thick milkshake). Central apnea may respond to medications--very few  though so talk to your doc about your specific diagnosis.
