I'm just curious, what constitutes the "mild side" in your case? I
was diagnosed with sleep apnea, but it was so mild that it was almost
sub-clinical. I got a CPAP, and used it for almost a year, but I didn't
find that it made a big difference in my wakefulness.

Ha ha - but you know, if you're capable of disassembling a CPAP in your
sleep, then you're certainly capable of removing your clothing, I'm
sorry to say. So not sleeping naked may not be much help. :)

I heard a news item a couple of weeks ago about an English hotel where
sleep-walking is becoming more common, for some reason. They have had to
start keeping several large towels at the front desk, to use for modesty
when a sleep-walking guest tries to check out of the hotel in the nude.

In my case, I believe the apnea was classed as severe. In the sleep
study, I was averaging about 30 apnea episodes per hour. In other words,
I was stopping breathing every couple of minutes.
