Can lack of sleep cause trouble with breathing or a person being uncomfortable breathing?

Sleep Apnea: Lack of sleep could be a symptom of interrupted sleep due to pauses in breathing and similarly sleep apnea could cause broken sleep, insomnia and daytime sleepiness. An overnight sleep study would be helpful.
