When I first started with Gerd I would wake up every morning at 3:00 AM. After I started taking Prilosec this eventually stopped.
I found this post on a message board and a couple of interesting links for Gerd / Sleep Apnea.
"I too was suffering from GERD but had not gone to the doctor to be diagnosed or treated. However when I met with my doctor before my sleep study, he informed me that GERD is frequently a problem with sleep apnea. Since being diagnosed with sleep apnea and starting CPAP therapy I have not had a single episode since. Before CPAP therapy, I quite frequently was waking up at night and taking some type of over the counter medicine trying to relieve the symptoms of acid reflux."
CPAP therapy is described in the following web site:

GERD is one of the common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome:
