DRIVING

by carole debeer

Oct 4, 2009

I was diagnosed as having sleep apnea after I sought medical attention after my second car accident after falling asleep at the wheel. Sleeping with a cpap has made clear changes in my life including more energy, less napping. I am comfortable driving locally during the day and even longer (1-2hour drives) as long as I stay off the highway and don't drive at night. When I mentioned this to my doctor(at Cornel-Weill Sleep Center)she seemed unaware of this as a typical experience. Anyone have this experience?
