It can also affect their quality of life and ability to work effectively.<\/p><p>It is important for truck drivers and night shift employees to recognize the symptoms of sleep apnea, such as daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, loud snoring, and insomnia. If a worker experiences these symptoms and suspects they may have sleep apnea, we strongly recommend taking our <a href=\"https:\/\/csrsommets.ca\/en\/epworth-test\/\">Epworth test.<\/a><\/p><p>After completing the test, we will have a better idea of their likelihood of suffering from sleep apnea. This will allow us to direct them to the most appropriate diagnostic test in collaboration with their doctor. The test results will determine whether they have sleep apnea and assess its severity.<\/p><p>If our tests confirm that the worker has sleep apnea, we can then move forward with treatment.
