Sleep disorders drive up industry's healthcare costs

Approximately 28 percent of the 3.5 million truck drivers in the U.S. suffer from sleep apnea, according to Fusion Sleep, a leading provider of transportation sleep medicine services.

Sleep is a fundamental function of the brain, and sleep apnea is only one of more than 70 sleep disorders that are known to cause costly diseases when left untreated, including weight gain, hypertension, type II diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Eliminating sleep disorders can reduce healthcare costs by as much as 50 percent, reduce absenteeism and curb driver turnover while increasing productivity and sharply reducing the risk of traffic accidents.

“Fusion Sleep is committed to providing trucking companies with solutions that provide distinguishable medical benefits for their drivers while having a significant positive impact on bottom-line results for the company,” says Fusion Sleep CEO Sigurjon Kristjansson.
