[jlmoorekcmo]

Interesting article about consideration of driving while diagnosed with Sleep Apnea.
I think that for the most part it is spot on. Only thing I would want stressed there are many other factors impairing drivers.

At least they were awake!

I suspect the one who rear-ended me was on her phone.

That dailyRx article has one of the worst descriptions of CPAP I've ever seen:

CPAP involves wearing a mask to bed. The mask includes tubes that force air into the patient's lungs to ensure they always are receiving oxygenated air continuously.

Where do you buy the $30. mask and $150. machine? Someone with sleep apnea texting while driving after a few drinks. You might get in trouble driving with sleep apnea even if you are complient. Could this be the future?

An Evo Medical RemRest Tier 3 CPAP Machine without Humidifier and Respironics Comfort (HAHAHAHA) Classic Mask (although the cheapest I can find the mask is 40 bucks, Evo goes even cheaper than $150, so one can keep under the "low end" total price in the article).
