Thanks Abby. Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing when you're asleep. I have to wear what's called a cpap which forces air into my respiratory system all night. What's funny is that I found out I had this when I went for a sleep study about my snoring. When I woke up the next day they said I have restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea and that at one point I'd stopped breathing for almost a minute and a half. Good times. Anyway, glad the info was helpful.

I think a lot of us with anxiety have insomnia issues so you're in good company.
