Check O2: Sometimes people with lung disease end up having a sleep disordered breathing or low oxygen at night. This often wakes people up because otherwise, low oxygen can cause brain and other vital organ damage. Avoid sedatives but something like melatonin may be helpful that does not typically affect breathing. Talk to pulmonary/sleep specialist you are seeing.
