No Kidding! Confession: I was falling asleep driving for years, almost daily. Once I started using CPAP at the right pressure, it solved the problem completely. Beware: CPAP is not effective enough at too low a pressure. Until I had an overnight sleep study done, my CPAP pressure was too low (12), and I was still falling asleep driving (for 6 years). The sleep study showed I need a pressure of 16. It feels like a miracle cure for me (and better than pulling over to take a nap). I am no longer a danger on the road. If you are not sure, check your HSI, and make sure it is low enough. The new machines upload HSI to a website daily.
