Among the large population of sleep apnea victims has to be pointing towards truckers today. Normally, they have to keep themselves awake, making sure that their deliveries reach their drop off points in record time. But in exchange, the sacrifice of sound sleep to be able to meet schedules have become banes for proper sleeping habits and thanks to these Mobile Sleep Solutions equipped with Covidien, most truckers have help on the way along their major routes!

The Mobile Sleep Solution Centers — 53-foot trailers with private bedrooms and bathrooms and fully functional control rooms for sleep technicians, hauled by International trucks — were unveiled June 19 at the Boulder, Colo., campus of healthcare-products giant Covidien as part of the company’s Sleep Wellness program.

Covidien is a maker of the continuous positive air pressure machines that are widely prescribed in controlling apnea. By gently blowing air into the sleeper’s nose through a face mask, CPAP machines keep the airways open and allow healthy, uninterrupted sleep. Sleep Pointe is a sister company, aimed at the transportation industry, of Somnograph, a maker of diagnostic sleep labs for hospitals, doctors’ offices and employers.
