I keep a file on everything “sleep apnea” related and my wife has used one (CPAP device)for a year now. However I think it’s way overblown in the trucking industry versus how about trying to work drivers 8 to 10 hours a day versus 9 to 15 hours a day. Regularity and predictability would have a more positive effect than sleep apnea testing and all the businesses and individuals tied to this relatively new industry. Many drivers think they might have it because their sleep cycles are so screwed up. Working conditions have only gotten worse in the last 20 years for drivers. JIT, load planners versus “one on one” dispatchers who know you and can hear “that little extra” when they talk to you daily. I believe paying drivers by the hour for everything they do and then giving them decent pay and reasonable total hours for the day would be a benefit to all, especially our society. I will continue to follow the news, the research, and talk to drivers every chance I get to see where the “real story” lies.

I can now sleep right through without waking up 5 times every minute. If you suspect that you my have sleep apnea or suffer continuous bouts of fatigue then I urge you to be tested. The unit along with the mask are cumbersome but they are effective. I don’t know if regulations are the answer but raising awareness would be a good start along with seeing your doctor for a regular physical. If there is anything they should mandate it should be the 120v inverter so you can plug the damn things in. :-)
