I’ve got two sleep questions. Could sleep apnea be caused by trauma and due to a dysregulated nervous system? Apparently I’m snoring and I stop breathing, but I still need to confirm this. And then background, I’ve got general anxiety, panic attacks and sleeping issues since many years. Waking up around 4:00 AM and not being able to fall asleep again. I remember your advice to get up and to get rid of the energy, but I’m still just sleepy and my mind is awake. Any advice?

So lately I’ve been having fear of falling asleep like I could die when asleep. Also, I’m having a jerking awake sensation while nodding off, sometimes up to 30 or more times a night. Would this be sympathetic activation? Any tips to calm myself down to get some sleep?
How can I tell the difference between a regression and healing and having stuff arise? I did SBSM in March and will still find myself in days of dysregulation that I would call manic or anxiety states. Most recently because of a potential new relationship starting. Is it normal to have lows stay as low as they have been with longer times of better regulation in between? When low, I worry that I’ve undone all my healing work, or I’m guilty of not having done enough. Do you have any advice?
