[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1442648, member: 249"] I think the requirement for a sleep study varies based on the provider of the physical. We recently added a new place to get our physicals done and drivers that have gone there were required to take a sleep study based entirely on their BMI. The other providers that we have been using for years has us fill out a questionnaire on how sleepy we get during the day, measures neck size, and computes BMI to determine the necessity of a sleep study. Going there I haven't had a problem, but I'm guessing a lot of this is probably due to lack of direction as to sleep study requirements from the DOT. Either way its safe to assume that its going to get worse overtime and to do your best to stay healthy today so we aren't trying to play catchup tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
