8/9/2017

As you may have experienced, sleepiness can make it harder to concentrate during lectures, to get your class work done, or to retain information that you’ve studied. Similarly, driving while drowsy will make it harder for you to concentrate on the road or to process what you're seeing. ​

Effects of Drowsiness

Drowsiness will affect you in several different ways, including:
  • 1. Decreased alertness and slowed reaction time
  • 2. Impaired vision and judgment
  • 3. Difficulty with processing and remembering information
  • 4. Increased aggression and frustration
These can translate into dangerous behaviors on the road. Many people will tell themselves that they will be able to handle the drive and push through the sleepiness. However, most people cannot tell when they are about to fall asleep, and may not be aware that they are drowsy until they have already dozed off. For your safety, the safety of your passengers, and of those on the road, make sure that you are fully alert and prepared for your drive before heading out.

Safe Driving Tips
  • 1. Get at least seven hours of sleep before you head out on the road
  • 2. Travel with someone who will stay awake and keep you alert during the drive
  • 3. Avoid driving long distances at night
  • 4. Drink a cup of caffeine
  • 5. Pull over to take a nap
  • 6. Find passengers who can take turns driving with you;
  • ​
lastly, Watch out for warning signs of drowsiness, including: difficulty keeping your eyes open or head up, repeated yawning, and trouble focusing; pull into the next rest area to take a nap or find a place to sleep for the night.
