Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder in which the airway repetitively collapses during sleep; patients with sleep apnea are often inattentive and sleepy. This review discusses driving performance and automobile accidents in patients with sleep apnea. Finally, we discuss the effect of therapy upon driving performance and reported accidents in these subjects.
