Yeah and I have apnea, and it's treated well, so I don't suffer the same fatigue I used to get.
I will admit, I had some scary drive times where it's that feeling like you're half asleep and have to keep chugging caffeine. Then a minor panic attack because you're worried about dozing off so your heart kicks overtime even though your brain is tired (and lack of oxygen means it wasn't as strong either). I used to get so tired I would write random numbers spawning from my brain in this half sleep state instead of the numbers I was supposed to be writing sometimes it would veer into nonsense words. So I can understand why this is an issue, but...
Is it for people with untreated only? Is it just so insurance companies can charge people more for insurance even if you have a good record? I can see in a commercial driving situation the need for this, but this is a bit ridiculous.
When does the right to medical privacy veer into the right to engage in a public-facing danger and what level of risk justifies that? I imagine there's some studies cited in support to justify this (imo) overreach.

The problem with apnea is that you never get any deep sleep. If it's treated well this is not the case.
