But is sleep apnea, like say a broken arm? Your arm will feel better if you are in a warm, safe room but it will still be very painful as if you were outside in a cold dangerous place.

Hmm, I'm not a sleep specialist, but I don't think so. Sleep apnea is part autonomic nervous system, not something that happens consciously, so I don't think your example applies. I'll ask my pulmonologist at our appointment in December when we discuss my sleep apnea.
Here is some info from Mayo Clinic about sleep apnea:
