Does quality of environment affect Sleep Apnea effects?

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.

Well, a positive outlook generally makes things better, but I'm pretty sure it can make you ignore other niggling problems.
For example, when the weather is chilly and damp, I hurt more. If I sit on the couch and think about it, more aches and pains and things to be unhappy about creep in, and pretty soon I feel even worse - all I want to do is stare at TV or take a nap. On the other hand, if I get up and move, I can ignore the aches. Pretty soon I get absorbed in something enjoyable and life seems much better, and I will realize I still hurt, but I'm not focusing on it.
