Before the diagnosis, by which time Bentley had sleep apnea-caused health problems which required seven types of medications and a pace maker, he tried everything to stay awake behind the wheel. I used to pull over to take a nap - sometimes I wouldn't wake up until morning. But the thing that worked best for me was to drive with someone else in the car. Sometimes I would take one of my children. Bentley, who often drove long distances to preach and attend meetings, found that carpooling was the best way for him to avoid falling asleep at the wheel.
Sleep experts agree.
