One in three individuals guilty of drowsy driving
Author: Jonathan Warren
Around one-third of motorists in the US have admitted to driving despite feeling sleepy as a result of not getting enough hours sleep in bed, new research has revealed.
Of course round beds and faux leather beds are places better suited to taking a nap, yet a new joint-survey by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) and the AAA Foundation indicated that a number of Americans had fallen asleep at the wheel in the past 30 days.
Meanwhile, 96 per cent of all respondents agreed that it is unacceptable for individuals to drive while excessively tired.
David Cloud, CEO of the NSF, explained that "working longer hours and multiple jobs" are some of the factors that may be behind drivers' sleepiness.
He said: "If you’re so tired that you can hardly keep your eyes open, you could fall asleep for just a few seconds and not realize it. If that happens at 65 miles an hour, you could drive the length of a football field in an unconscious state.”
