That being the case, and I believe that, because most truckers work some crazy hours, I advise you to get some sort of monitoring device to track your sleep. I did not want to take the test, because it might open a can of worms. But I did get a Fitbit and this is what it will show you. At least you will have some idea of how much rest you are getting. You should get at least an hour of deep sleep every night. This is when your body heals. Notice I did not wake up during the night, so I am pretty sure I don't have apnea. After buying one you can go advanced for $79 a year and it will tell you a lot more.

Very biased information no doubt sourced from the fine folks pedaling CPAP equipment,,,bunch of maggots IMO
We don’t have any of this sleep apnea testing nonsense forced on us in CanadaRollr4872, singlescrewshaker, Flat Earth Trucker and 10 others Thank this. -
And yet they refuse to follow the law and do actual studies on apnea. And yes, congress passed a law to require fmcsa to do studies to see if apnea is needed before they can require it.
They get around it by simply recommending it....alds, rachi, Doealex and 1 other person Thank this. -
I think the FMCSA should just disqualify all the drivers.
