24% of Adult Drivers Suffer from

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

What is Sleep Apnea? Sleep apnea is a very common disorder in which a person has pauses in breathing during sleep.

Sleep apnea usually is a chronic (ongoing) condition that disrupts sleep 3 or more nights each week. Often, a person will move out of deep sleep and into light sleep when breathing pauses or becomes shallow.

Two Major Concerns: Your health and Federal Regulations.

Your Health-Obstructive Sleep Apnea leaves one feeling fatigued and sleepy throughout the day. In fact, sleep apnea is one of the leading causes of excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea has also been found to increase the risk of:

• Depression/irritability
• High blood pressure
• Loss of memory
• Inability to lose weight
• Congestive heart failure

• Stroke
• Impaired cognitive ability
• Loss of productivity
• Occupational injury

Federal Regulations-Like it or not, agree with it or not, federal regulations concerning sleep apnea are imminent. CSA2010 is just the beginning. There will be a time in the near future when all drivers will need to be able to prove they are “compliant” and either don’t have sleep apnea or that they are being treated for it and it is manageable.
