Sleep problems - not sleeping thru the night?

[tnvolgrl05]

I take Lunesta. Have been off and on for about a year and a half. Lately I am not sleeping thru the night. I am waking up around 2-3am and pretty much awake until I have to get up at 6. I am exhausted. I have has some stress lately in my life. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. I do have "mild" sleep apnea(I was told a cpap may or may not help). I snore some. And I sleep with earplugs...Does anyone have any ideas that might help me sleep thru the night? I exercise some, i am not overweight. I would prefer something that isn't a medication solution. As I already take something...I don't know if my waking up is stress related and an anti depressant is the last thing I need.

Well if you wake up because of stress, than I would quit the lunesta and take an anti depressant. I would also take talking to a doctor or psychiatrist into consideration.
