 Sleep Apnea is a major threat to safety, that can no longer be ignored. Recent research has demonstrated that:

- Situational Performance of an Untreated Sleep Apneic is Equivalent to a Drunk Driver.
- Untreated Sleep Apneics are at least 6 times more likely to cause an accident.
- 30% of High Severity Crashes may be Attributed to Sleep Apnea alone.
