    If you can try going to Sleep Analysis in Hershey Pa. See Dr. Gleeson. I know you have seen my posts about my better half and his experience. In any case he was retested. Came in at 0 episodes in 6 hours. This guy is the real deal. He does not fall into the JUNK SCIENCE of this mandated sleep study CPAP use. Finally after many weeks of being sleep deprived on this infernal machine, my better half is sleeping peacefully.

    This is not a test, it is a study to see what is going on.

    YOU CAN'T FAIL IT unless you are dead then it doesn't matter anyway.

    It shows whether or not you have it, it can't really be faked, you choke when you are sleeping and there isn't a way to make someone choke without touching them while they are sleeping - or someone explain to me how.

    A lot of people have this problem, it is serious for some but others it isn't.

    It is a game, something that came about because of a study done years ago about fatigue and accidents - the study actually said in the executive summary that there is no conclusive evidence linking fatigue with the accidents in the study.

    For those who are fat, and don't want to lose weight, go to a doctor before you need to be told that. Get a sleep study done and have them write up a treatment plan, even if you don't have to get a machine. This is one way to beat the BS of these companies because they have to accept it as YOUR medical care.

    Ridgeline, You are right on so many levels, in fact there are not any reliable sources of any kind that give sold credit one way or the other on this. You do not have to be over weight either. My daughter in law had a study done she is 23 years old, 85lbs. and she had episodes. My past experience in the medical field has also given me the opportunity to see this first hand. Everyone will have it in some form and degree.
    Now that my truck driver has been retested and the Dr. was astounded at his results. (based on 2 sleep studies) He now considers him a test case in favor of borderline sleep apnea & CPAP compliance that in fact has been proven to be a detriment to ones health. I am sure this Dr. would welcome a few more of these people to boost the numbers in this favor.

    This is nothing more than a rip off, should have asked them for the FMCSA regs that require it.

    Crete tests for their own reasons. It's not illegal to test, they just don't have to, so at Crete, it's get tested or get fired.

    Why do they feel the need to do this then? All this crap with these companies is getting ridiculous.

    Quit this company before they can diagnose you with it. Don't sign any papers.
