It is interesting that you bring this up. The sleep school that I work for, The Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and Technology recently hosted a dinner seminar entitled, "Assessment and Management of OSA in Commercial Drivers" for a group of Occupational Medicine doctors. This is a very pertinent issue that needs more attention. Our sleep school is getting our own blog off the ground here: http://www.sleepschool.com/blog.aspx and you are included in our blogroll.
