Good question. Some people report that alcohol consumption triggers a bad night, though it never seemed to make a difference for me.

Allergies & asthma don't seem to trigger apneas, though the pressure rises above the normal range at those times of year, which makes sense, I guess.

I haven't noticed any consistency of triggers, unfortunately. Last time at my sister's, I slept like a baby, though other times have been very restless.

Eating before bed doesn't seem to be a problem (though not a good idea); don't take sleep pills, exercise is limited due to chronic pain issues.
