Sleep and Driving Safety

Drowsy driving is a widespread problem that results in accidents and injuries, costing lives and money. Drowsy driving can occur due to inadequate sleep, circadian rhythm influences and sleep disorders. It is agnostic to the driver affecting any age, sex, amount of prior driving experience and can include those who drive cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles. Laws and regulations are spotty on drowsy driving in part due to the challenges in defining it and confirming it.
