@robertwills Sleep apnea is when breathing is interrupted sufficiently during sleep to cause the sleep cycle to be disrupted. That said, it is unlikely that work or living environment would cause it, unless somehow your ability to breathe or air quality is affected.
As far as I know, the only way to get an accurate is with a sleep test. But I can tell you the the mechanism for a home test is quite small and unobtrusive these days compared to earlier setups. O2 levels upon awakening would not accurately reflect those during sleep.
Do you think you are suffering from sleep apnea? Or do you think maybe your description of workplace interaction may indicate that an uncomfortable or toxic workplace id=s causing depression?

Thank you for your reply. I am not asking if a negative environment could create sleep apnea; I'm asking could it increase the symptom of tiredness and a positive environment decrease the symptom or even eliminate it?" I know that caffeine and other similar acting medications can lessen the symptom but can a positive environment alone?

But yes, one of the tests you indicated seem to be the only current ways to know for sure.
