New study: People with untreated Sleep Apnea should be extra careful on the road

A new study shows that people who suffer from sleep apnea may be less alert when driving a car. Researches found that drivers with untreated sleep apnea should be extra careful before driving, especially when consuming even the smallest amounts of alcohol.

The study was published in Australia after checking the responses of 38 drivers who suffer from sleep apnea, using a special driving simulation. The results were compared with the driving skills of healthy drivers and proved that untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious traffic accidents.

The drivers with sleep apnea had difficulties staying in their lane, and 12 of these drivers crashed their car during the tests, another 8 crashed after drinking small amounts of alcohol.

Of course that every driver who has troubles sleeping should be extra careful before hitting the road, but according to this research, drivers who suffer from sleep apnea should be even more careful and responsible while driving, especially long drives.

If you are one of these drivers, know that a CPAP machine can treat sleep apnea and make you sleep like a baby from the first night of use.
