Driver fatigue may happen when a person has not slept enough, but it can also happen due to sleep disorders, medications, drinking alcohol, high stress or night shift work. Driving is a task that requires attention and must be performed while alert and aware; attempting to operate a vehicle while fatigued may impair a person’s ability to drive.
Scientists from the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety and Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital examined the impact of night shift work on drowsiness and driving performance. The study found that more than a third of drivers who operated a vehicle on a closed test track after working the night shift were involved in near-crash events. The same drivers, with normal sleep the night before the test, had zero near-crashes. These and other findings provide evidence of the dangers of drowsy driving.
