Sleep Apnea   

Plan on a type 1 or 2 in-lab sleep study at which you’ll be in a hotel room type study room with about 25 leads connected all over your body. Head, neck, chest, legs, and two nostril canules, and be expected to sleep. A tech watches you all night with cameras recording all of your movements.  It will cost you about $1,000 and take several  weeks to schedule and even more weeks to receive the results. They will ALWAYS say you have sever apnea.

Once you get an SI answer from the FAA in about 90 days you will have to show you wear your CPAP at least 6 hours per night. If you thought you were daytime tired before, well son, you’ll barely sleep at all with that uncomfortable contraption hissing all night.

At least annually and in some cases monthly you’ll need to provide your AME with data from your CPAP.

Otherwise it’s pretty easy.
