There are people in all sorts of jobs around the country that have undiagnosed sleep disorders... situations like this make the headlines because of the danger involved.

However, you will never see an article on CNN about an accountant slumped over his ledgers sleeping.

I suspect there are a good number of long-haul transport drivers that have undiagnosed sleep apnea. Many of them go around in a fog most of the time due to having odd schedules and disrupted sleep patterns.

I also know that what you said about long haul drivers is true. but i also heard that in Ohio they are trying to make all CDL drivers have to have sleep studies done too. I think it would be a good idea . . I know I don't want my kids in a bus with a sleepy driver!
