One of the biggest responsibilities of a truck driver is to ensure that they will be driving safely on the roads in order to avoid accidents. It has been noted that the truckers are the ones who are exposed to the risks of getting involved in accidents and since the truckers bring large vehicles, there is a big chance of causing fatalities to the other vehicles involved in the accident. Truckers usually are the ones who drive for long hours as they may carry different kinds of cargo from manufacturers, retailers and other distribution companies and they may even have to drive hours from one state to another across the United States! Since the truckers can contribute well to the economy by making goods readily available all over the country, the responsibility is heavy. If you are a trucker, you probably will agree that no matter what kind of cargo you carry, the risks are high as your driving skills may easily be impaired by different health disorders like sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. For this reason, it is highly important to conduct a truckers sleep study in order to keep the roads safer! Sleep disorders are one of the major reasons why truckers experience fatigue as they drive and this poses a major risk on the roads. The truth is, sleep disorders like sleep apnea is very common not just to drivers but to a lot of individuals and this can definitely impair their alertness and their full performance on their jobs. The hard thing about sleep apnea and other sleep disorders is that it can be mistaken as a simple disability to sleep soundly and sometimes, sleep apnea is thought to be a simple snoring. When an individual is affected by sleep apnea, he or she will experience disturbed sleep all through the night. This is because they have problems breathing deeply which is important for an individual to have a sound sleep. With individuals who have sleep apnea, the air passageway is narrowed which is why they are not able to breathe deeply, plus the tongue sinks back into the back of the mouth which causes gasping and choking which usually causes the person who is suffering from sleep apnea to have an abnormal sleep cycle all through the night.
Those individuals who are suffering from sleep apnea are basically going to have trouble working at their full potential the next morning. That is why they pose a great risk of getting involved in accidents as they drive. Since they spend hours driving, they may fall asleep or they may have a lessened awareness as they drive and may not have the right judgment that is needed as they pave the roads. If you suspect that you are affected with sleep apnea, get the help that you need! You can have a free test for sleep apnea when you check out the link leading to the DOT Sleep Regulations website! So get more info when you check it out today so you can have the help that you need as soon as possible!
