    Quit dude. go find a new company. Take anew physical etc. Refuse to work anywhere that even asks about sleep apnea. It is between you and your doctor. this #### needs to end. We have a few more years hopefully of reason in congress before the scumbag libs can get control again and start making new rules to control everyones life. As long as it isnt mandated by law , #### it go somewhere else.

    People been living without this #### for many many years and some dude makes a machine and BAM we have a new disease. Snoring isnt a disease the DOT is. We used to be able to stop and take breaks and be well rested but the teamsters created the new HOS laws and ####ed us over because they didnt want to be on the clock after 14 hours of punching their time card. More power to them clock punchers but it has no business in OTR. #### I used to have the most beautiful afternoon naps, now its OMG go go go that clock is ticking tick tock tick tock. No wonder everyone needs a #### nap.

    Anwya go get a new job #### that machine and anyone who participates in the trash system.

    Thanks for the information guys. The dog idea got possibilities. LOL I even thought about going down the street and give it to the farmer and use it on his cows. I think the cows need a good sleep.

    No, don't do that to the cows. The Humane Society would be all over you.

    I did not know any bipa
    The home tests are unreliable. Whether you have sleep apnea at this point is unknown. You need to have a real sleep test done in a sleep lab.

    There is also a test called a Wakefulness test that a sleep clinic can perform. It tests your ability to stay awake for a 2 or 3 hour period during the day. You sit in a chair and try to stay awake with no tv, no reading, no anything.
    The test is used to verify your bipap machine is helping you get good sleep.

    You need to see a good sleep specialist to get this sorted out.

    Any positive home test should be confirmed by a sleep doctor. Say that three times.....any home test should be confirmed....

    You cannot believe how much my cpap machine has helped me sleep....but then I had my sleep test done in a hospital/clinic with medical supervision....no employer involvement.
