When aging parents' sleep issues affect the whole family's wellbeing

My elderly parents both have sleep disorders now — mom has restless leg syndrome, dad has sleep apnea — and they keep waking each other up but refuse to sleep separately after 45 years of marriage. My siblings and I are trying to help but we all have different ideas about medical versus natural approaches, and our parents are exhausted and stubborn.
