Very useful read. My friend, an osteopath, says neck issues also can create breathing obstructions, and it makes a good deal of people wake up in the middle of the night and stay awake, even though they don't even think it's a problem.

Symptom to watch for: you wake up and your nose is stuffy, can't breathe through it, but there's no snot. And in 5-15 minutes it gets clear.

If you have it, it means lymph flow out of the head is obstructed, and works only thanks to gravity when you're upright.

It's a reason to be worried by itself, beacuse it also causes blood circulation obstructions. But if someone has issues with throat, it can contribute to apnea.
