What is the only dependable cure for drowsy driving?
- A.Sleep, or stopping driving until you can sleep
- B.Coffee and an energy drink
- C.Opening the window for cold air
- D.Turning the radio up loud
Correct answer
A. Sleep, or stopping driving until you can sleep
Why
Stimulants, cold air, and noise may mask sleepiness for a few minutes, but the brain's need for sleep keeps growing. The safe fix is to stop in a safe place and sleep, even a short nap is better than pushing on.
