I have a lot of theories about Sleep Apnea, but nothing I would feel comfortable elaborating on yet. I will say that it seems we can affect things a lot more than we seem to think via dietary habits vs physical changes. The research for it is very mixed and heavy and there is a lot, ton, of crap personal stories in the way.

Of hand my recommendation for someone dealing with this, or insomina in general would be...

-Make sure you have a healthy breathing environment in the first place. You be surprised how much this changes things.
-Take part in a daily, best if twice daily routine to stretch and increase mobility and decrease body tension.
-Lost fat if overweight
-Don't eat before bed
-Time carbohydrates early in the day and around training
-Don't overtrain, ever.
-Sleep slightly elevated
-Use a humidifier in your bedroom
-Keep inflammation down in general
-Use Melatonin pre-bed
-Practice good pre-sleep habits (only use bed for sleep or sex, no tv, no lights, etc.)
