Safest is none: I am concerned when sleep apnea and sleeping meds are used in the same sentence. You don't mention if your apnea is being treated. Do you routinely use a cpap? Why the insomnia? Things to consider include caffeine intake, regular exercise, bedroom darkness, temperature . Consult with the sleep specialist who diagnosed your apnea for advise with the insomnia. They know the severity of your apne.
