Sleep study needed for Schneider will other companies need one too?

You don’t like it, go somewhere else.

 

Useless comment, he did leave

 

If someone thinks sleep at is a scam I don't think we can change their minds. In a real sleep lab they can see if someone is sleeping, so they would not count events if your not sleeping. Plus not sure why anyone awake would stop breathing for 10 plus second to even get Events of sleep apnea when they are awake. If someone is have trouble breathing out against the CPAP air pressure. That person may need a BiPAP. Those machines can lower air pressure. You don't get that info at the trucking companies sleep apnea test. They usually go for just wearing the most basic test system.

If someone has sleep apnea is much better to see if they go into REM sleep. Then adjust or find the correct pressure for fixing sleep apnea. Otherwise people are just hoping the CPAP is finding the correct pressure. If someone needs a BIPAP they will never know and think CPAP is fake or does not work. A sleep apnea EVENT is not breathing for 10 seconds. If someone can see the sleep test you can look yourself and see if they are counting EVENT or AHI that are not really 10 seconds long. To see if they are scamming the someone

 

No it isn’t, it is tiring to hear things from drivers who don’t seem to get that out of a 1000 drivers there are bunch who this actually helps them (in many cases save their lives) so it is a good thing for them to discover.

Def useless not only did you ignore the obvious problem but you're basically saying the solution is to just let companies walk all over driver jeopardize their CDLs and it doesn't matter if its true or not right?

http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t74405/poisoned-by-water-chamber-plastic-fumes.html I think that says enough for me I used one for just a few days and had chest pains. I've read guys die of heart attacks while hooked up to those cpap machines. I guess someones water reservoir ran out while they were asleep and it melted blowing plastic fumes into their lungs for hours. I'm scared and I only used one for maybe a month. Who knows how much toxic fumes those things blow out just normally.

I've never seen anyone test for plastic particles before. Physicians need to be criminally investigated for those machines or they need to treat those machines like cigarettes having warning labels on it and if people want to use them that should be up to the individual not forced onto everyone.

If I'm tired I'd like to just go to bed that's easy to do, but the ELD's are over burdening maybe relax ELDs on company drivers, and abolish ELDS for owner operators. Company's will run drivers into the ground, but trying to remedy fatigue caused by ELDS with cpap machines that probably blow out plastic particles is just idiotic and kind of embarrassing that someone came up with these things individually. Also there's been upticks in accidents since ELDs and Cpap machines have been forced onto drivers there's no random coincidence.

 

I think it should be up to the driver.

 

Tell that to this Driver http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t74405/poisoned-by-water-chamber-plastic-fumes.html it should be up to the driver if they accept cpap machine or not. It's a risk to use the machine like surgery why is it treated like there's no hazardous consequences?

 

It's either people are holding their breath for 10 seconds at a time I definitely wasn't. The machine was faulty, or the machine is purposely producing false events.

Wow that's really specific. Are you a cpap specialist? You seem pretty informed and are trying to promote cpap machines.

 

I have a BiPAP and went to a sleep lab for my sleep apnea test. Did not think I had sleep apnea but I had it bad. My sleep test they tried CPAP and said it it was not fixing my problem. So they switch me to BiPAP machine and adjusting the pressure when I was trying to sleep. They found I could get into REM sleep. I thought that was amazing they could tell when I was in REM sleep. I did not sleep most of the night.

This guy on youtube is sleep lab guy and seems to know lots of info we would not normally get. His video are not the best quality production but he seems to give out good info. He did video how some sleep doctor just look at sleep apnea Events and don't double check to make sure it's really an Event. Basically some just go by what the computer says vs looking at a sleep report manual to check the sleep apnea Events.
