Driving While Drowsy: Tips for Prudent Driving

  • April 16, 2014
  • News & Updates

You’ve had a long day and you are on your way home. You might turn on the AC, blast the music or pinch yourself, but tactics like these will only mask a dangerous situation.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics showed drivers who were most likely to suffer from drowsiness at the wheel included:

  • Commercial drivers
  • Those working the night shift or very long hours
  • Drivers suffering from sleep disorders or sleep deprivation
  • Medicated drivers

Tips for Staying Alert

Get Plenty of Sleep – The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7-9 hours a night for adults.

Electronic Prevention Devises – There are apps and technological aids available to startle or alert you if you are getting drowsy. If you do find yourself getting sleepy – pull over and take a nap.

Plan Ahead – Try to get into a sleeping routine that allows your body to adapt to your schedule. Avoid scheduling grueling work hours or changing shifts.
