Experts claim that sleepiness is 'the smoking gun of the modern age' and fear that unless we radically shift our attitudes towards sleep we are heading towards a medical meltdown.Establishing if your employees have a sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea, is critical. Not only can an individuals health be adversely affected if it goes un-treated, but the likelihood of a fatigue related accident greatly increases, putting not only themselves, but also their colleagues and the community at risk.Due to the nature of the role, drivers involved in the commercial heavy transport sector, especially male drivers, experience and much higher incidence of OSA than the rest of the population. Screening studies completed in this sector (in NZ) over the last three years indicate that approximately 24% of male commercial drivers suffer from OSA, much higher than the reported national statistics of 9% for all adult males. The prevalence of OSA in this population is likely due to many drivers being overweight, older than the national average, experiencing long sedentary periods whilst driving, working extended hours, at times contrary to the body's natural circadian rhythms, and having a poor diet whilst on the road.
