Who is most at-risk?• Young People : Sleep-related crashes are most common in young people,

especially those who tend to stay up late, sleep too little, and drive at night.

• Shift Workers and People with Long Work Hours : Shift workers and people who work long hours are at high risk of being involved in a sleep-related crash.

• Commercial Drivers : Those who drive a high number of miles and drive at night are at significantly higher risk for fall-asleep crashes.

• People with Undiagnosed or Untreated Sleep Disorders : Many different sleep disorders result in excessive daytime sleepiness, placing this group at high risk for sleep-related crashes.

• Business Travelers : “Jet lag” as well as long work hours put these weary travelers at increased risk for sleep-related crashes.

“Sleepiness causes auto crashes because it impairs performance and can ultimately lead to the inability to resist falling asleep at the wheel. Critical aspects of driving impairment associated with sleepiness are reaction time, vigilance, attention, and information processing.”

- NCSDR/ NHTSA Expert Panel on Driver Fatigue and Sleepiness

Stay Alert • Get plenty of sleep (at least 7 hours) the night before a trip.

• Stop driving if you become sleepy.

• Travel at times when you are normally awake, and stay overnight if you’re driving a long distance.

• Schedule a break every 2 hours or 100 miles.

• Drink a caffeinated beverage, and find a safe place to take a 20- 30 minute nap while you wait for the caffeine to take effect.

• Travel with an awake passenger.
