Health tip: Sleep troubles can be caused by many things besides medical disorders such as sleep apnea. Some common factors are anxiety, stress and the side effects of caffeine, alcohol and decongestants. Examine your life and the underlying potential stressors, as well as the noise and light in your sleep environment. Relaxation techniques can be helpful.
