Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, November 2-8, 2026

Driving drowsy is similar to driving impaired by drugs or alcohol. When you are tired, you react slower, your judgment and your vision are impaired, and you have problems understanding and remembering things.

And, if you’re too tired to drive, you’re likely to drive aggressively – running red lights, ignoring traffic signs and posing a risk to yourself and others.

If you are tired enough, you will fall asleep and never even know it. Sleeping behind the wheel for even a few seconds is enough to kill you.

Shift workers and inexperienced teen drivers who sleep less than eight hours a night are at an increased risk for crashes.

The best thing to do if you begin to feel tired while driving is to stop driving. The National Sleep Foundation offers these tips to combat drowsy driving:

Get adequate sleep, most people need at least 7 hours.
Schedule proper breaks — about every 100 miles or 2 hours during long trips.
Arrange for a travel companion.
Avoid alcohol and sedating medications.
