Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX

thanks for the query

Absence of morning erections indicates that the problems are unlikely to be of psychogenic origin

Therefore, Sleep apnea itself can cause such issues that you are referring to. Undergoing a "penile doppler ultrasound study " and "polysmnography"will be helpful to point the cause

Do you have hypertension / diabetes / depression ?

Have you done any hormone assessment ?

I would be happy to discuss further
