the wife seems to toss and turn and only sleeps 2 hours and then is up looking at the clock then she does sleep then up again.her breathing is fine and she is not over weight but she does snore--- maybe a sleep apnea thing---her muscles ache alot and she says that her bones in the feet hurt alot in the morning. we seem to think it might be the meds
like the statins that she has changed several times without much help.she also takes vitamins like d e and fishoil
she works at a computer all day ---- so her job is not physical as it is mental

Why can she not sleep?  Does she have trouble breathing?  What is aching her muscles or bones?
