How to tell your co driver he has sleep apnea

Look at his info. If you can find anyone with more let us know

 

Some of you are being silly with taking you over the cliff. Come on....

If you are going to sleep in a moving truck driven by a co driver, you commend your soul to God so that whatever happens good or bad it is going to happen. You might wake up dead.

This thread has alot of very good information regarding sleep apnea. I don't have it. But what I do have is literally sleep that is either a night through or a few hours at a time. Since I am pernamently off the road I don't mind collecting my sleep a few hours at a time in the afternoon. But it would be a problem on the road.

For those of you who never rode with a team driver or as a trainer minding a new driver, you never really sleep. You are focused on the tires on pavement, the shifting, the engine behavior and the airride behavior. Is it all smooth? Great. If there is a problem it will show up somewhere along those lines really quickly if the yelling has not started already. You have to literally wake up and address the emergency from deep sleep in like.. 10 seconds and do it correctly.

Not too many people can do that. It's not like being asleep like a baby in your own home, safe and sound and free of any worries or stress.

 

Or you might want to think about how your going to feel when he takes out a family of 5 in a minivan.

 

I remember Dave Nemo and Dr John talking about sleep apnea on satellite radio but they could not explain how it worked

 

Just hammer down, it will slide right through......NO??? OK

 

Hey!
What?
You have sleep apnea.

 

Phone have a recorder?

My wife will snore on her back and she is not big. I recorded it and we found if she started exercising her snoring decreased greatly. She was on the verge of the criteria for SA.
