Sleeping problems: People that suffer of sleep apnea have interrupted sleep because of difficulty getting adequate oxygenation. Even if your using your CPAP machine every night it might need evaluation to check parameters are direct for you. Also weight loss helps for those that are overweight to help control symptoms.

See doctor: I would see a doctor go over all you meds side effects. Pain can contribute too. Zolpidem is a sleeping medication that body gets used to so you may need a change. In any event see your doctor.
