Daytime Consequences of Sleep Apnea

A 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey of sleep deprivation revealed an alarming fact: of those who answered, approximately 1 in 25 participants admitted to having fallen asleep while driving in the preceding 30 days. Sleep apnea can be a major cause of daytime drowsiness, and can be assessed during a sleep study.
