Which trip plan best reduces fatigue risk on an overnight run?
- A.Skip sleep before the trip to save hours
- B.Build the schedule so you can sleep during your normal sleep hours before the trip and take a planned nap stop if drowsiness appears
- C.Plan to drive through your normal sleep time with no stops
- D.Rely on loud music the whole way
Correct answer
B. Build the schedule so you can sleep during your normal sleep hours before the trip and take a planned nap stop if drowsiness appears
Why
Fatigue risk is lowest when sleep is banked before the shift and the plan includes a safe place to stop. A schedule that assumes you will stay alert through your normal sleep window is a plan built on willpower, which fatigue defeats.
