    Wtf… You get that diagnosis and they will pull your driver’s license? Holy hell as if I needed any other reason to never fucking go to the doctor unless I’m literally about to die.

      This was my reaction at first but when I thought about it my perspective changed. Fatigued driving is really dangerous. Your response/reaction time is severely degraded as is your decision making ability.

      Impaired driving isn’t just from being intoxicated.

      It is similar to how people with seizures disorders can’t drive.

      I’ve heard of this for commercial driver’s licenses. But it really isn’t safe to drive when your body is very sleep deprived from the apnea.
