You seem pretty sophisticated, and hopefully know that obstructive sleep apnea
can be treated with CPAP machines, or some sort of mouth guard, and in any
event often by just losing weight.

Sometimes people with sleep apnea have other ailments (ie, rest leg syndrome)
which curiously is sometimes greated with neurontin, which every good
prostatitis-ite already knows about.

Caffeine late in the day can disrupt sleep later on, perpetuating the
fatigue-coffee-bad sleep pattern. You probalby know that too.

I find sleep is my best defense against this stuff. The less sleep, often the
worse the symptoms.
