Seek help: Treat apnea and if having trouble seek help. Lots of free meetings and support including pap clinics and a.W.A.K.E. Meetings all over the country. Just because diagnosed with apnea, sometimes you're allowed to get insomnia too. Try to work with sleep schedule and hygiene.

About sleep hygiene: Try any that apply: 1) Keep a regular sleep schedule (same time in/out of bed), 2) quiet, dark room - no TV/music, 3) use bedroom only for sleep/marital relations, 4)if no sleep in 20min, leave room until sleepy, then try again (repeat as needed), 5)No caffeine after noon/no alcohol at bedtime, 6)write worries in a journal by bedside, then deal with them next day,7) No success in 6 weeks? See doc.
