It's Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, and the timing is no accident. 😴🚗
Clocks just fell back. For a lot of Northeast Ohio drivers, the commute home now happens in the dark while body clocks are still catching up.
The National Sleep Foundation estimates drowsy driving is involved in about one in five fatal crashes on U.S. roads.
Signs it's time to pull over:
• Heavy eyelids or constant yawning
• Drifting out of your lane or hitting the rumble strip
• Missing your exit or not remembering the last few miles
What helps: a full night's sleep before a long drive, a short nap somewhere safe, and switching drivers when you can. Cranking the radio or opening a window is not a fix.
