Hi, That is exactly what happens to me. I have had this thing for 7 years now. I already know some things that trigger it like eating too late at night, eating too much, drinking/eating: chocolate, coffee, wine, beer, tomato sauce, sodas, all of them in the afternoon. I also get it if I am anxious, stressed or being under an allergic attack. ( reflux has been already clinically ruled out) I also know that if I exercise hard at night I got less chances of having an apnea attack. If I drink two drinks of vodka I might not get it. I know that if I try to be physically tired or relaxed with alcohol I might get into the deep part of sleep at once, skipping the two first hours of light sleep which is the part when the attacks are triggered. I have never used benzodiazepines and I won’t do it because I have seen the consequences in others. I will be under a new treatment soon. I will let you guys know. Cheers
