Sleep disorders a big reason for road accidents in India

India has an alarmingly high number of deaths attributed to road accidents. While there are several reasons behind these, one of them is lack of sleep. According to a study, truck drivers drive 12 hours a day, with almost 50% of them admitting they feel sleepy or tired while driving. Many of them suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a disorder that majorly goes undetected because of lack of testing.
