“…When it originates relevant cognitive-behavioral changes, it increases morbidity and mortality of OSAHS, which becomes important risk factor for car accidents and labor. Individuals that have ten or more obstructive events per hour of sleep showed greater risk of 6.3 accidents that individuals with normal sleep, what shows a strong association between sleep apnea and the risk for motor vehicle accidents (95%) 5,6 . Mortality associated with sleep apnea significantly increases when episodes are more than 20 per sleep hour 7 .…”

“…It has been reported that EDS affects 0.5-14% of the population, (1)(2)(3)(4) seriously interfering with professional activities, as well as with family and social relationships, and reducing cognitive performance, thereby increasing the risk of accidents in the workplace and traffic accidents. (5)(6)(7)(8) It has been demonstrated that individuals who are sleep-deprived, due to limitations in either the quantity or quality of sleep, often are unable to respond rapidly to external stimuli and have greater difficulty in concentrating, which impairs their ability to perform certain activities, including driving a vehicle. (5,(9)(10)(11) There is evidence that EDS is closely correlated with traffic accidents.…”

The proportion of such accidents that can be ascribed to EDS ranges from 1% to 3% in the United States and is 33% in Australia.…”

“…Deve ser destacado que seu uso por até três vezes na semana pode desencadear o desenvolvimento da dependência; a perda de horas de sono, associada ou não ao uso de substâncias psicoativas (14) .

Geralmente, os profissionais recorrem aos inibidores de sono pela necessidade de percorrer grandes distâncias no dia e pela própria exigência do serviço, visto que muitos deles possuem horário para carregar e descarregar, enquanto outros ganham pela carga transportada (2,(5)(6) .…”
