Dr. Tom Hurwitz will discuss common sleep disorders as they affect pilots including but not limited to sleep apnea.  He will also discuss the recent addition of obstructive sleep apnea to the criteria for medical marijuana.  Although this issue will not necessarily be pertinent to pilots, it has become a hot topic among the public.
