Where did you get that picture of me? Take it down now!

Seriously, you are giving out some VERY good advice.

I would add:

Use of sleep aids such as Ambien are effective but should be considered as temporary relief as they can be addictive.

Determining why you aren't sleeping can correcting 'bad habits' include, not watching TV in bed, using your computer late, eating a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise.

I recommend brisk walking. It's not stressful and oxygenates your blood and gets air deep into your lungs.

Sleep apnea is dangerous as it interrupts sleep and your normal breathing patterns can be stopped for as much as a minute which puts stress on the heart.

Eating well includes no sugar, no highly refined carbohydrates, no red meat, lots of fruit, green vegetables, whole grain breads, soy-based food products and fish. Drink plenty of water during the day and reduce caffeine intake.

Your diet and exercise regimen combined will result in weight loss which in turn will reduce the fleshy palate at the back of the throat responsible for the apnea.

Thanks Jason.
