<P align=3Dleft>Drowsy driving is a serious problem that leads to =
thousands of=20
automobile crashes each year. This report, sponsored by the National =
Center on=20
Sleep Disorders Research (NCSDR) of the Na-tional Heart, Lung, and Blood =

Institute of the National Institutes of Health, and the National Highway =
Traffic=20
Safety Administration (NHTSA), is designed to provide direction to an=20

Fatigue and Sleepiness regarding key issues involved in the problem. =
</P>
<H4 align=3Dleft><FONT face=3DArial>BIOLOGY OF HUMAN SLEEP AND =
SLEEPINESS=20
</FONT></H4>
<P align=3Dleft>Sleep is a neurobiologic need with predictable patterns =
of=20
sleepiness and wakefulness. Sleepiness results from the sleep component =
of the=20
circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness, restriction of sleep, and/or=20
interruption or fragmentation of sleep. The loss of one night's sleep =
can lead=20
to extreme short-term sleepiness, while habitually restricting sleep by =
1 or 2=20
hours a night can lead to chronic sleepiness. Sleeping is the most =
effective way=20
to reduce sleepiness. </P>
<P align=3Dleft>Sleepiness causes auto crashes because it impairs =
performance and=20
can ultimately lead to the inability to resist falling asleep at the =
wheel.=20
Critical aspects of driving impairment associated with sleepiness are =
reaction=20
time, vigilance, attention, and information processing. </P>
<H4 align=3Dleft><FONT face=3DArial>CRASH CHARACTERISTICS </FONT></H4>
<P align=3Dleft>Subjective and objective tools are available to =
approximate or=20
detect sleepiness. However, unlike the situation with alcohol-related =
crashes,=20
no blood, breath, or other measurable test is currently available to =
quantify=20
levels of sleepiness at the crash site. Although current understanding =
largely=20
comes from inferential evidence, a typical crash related to sleepiness =
has the=20
following characteristics: </P>
<UL>
  <LI>
  <P align=3Dleft>The problem occurs during late night/ early morning or =

  midafternoon.</P>
  <LI>

  <LI>
  <P align=3Dleft>A single vehicle leaves the roadway. </P>

  <LI>
  <P align=3Dleft>The driver does not attempt to avoid a crash. </P>

<P align=3Dleft>Although evidence is limited or inferential, chronic =

<H4 align=3Dleft><FONT face=3DArial>COUNTERMEASURES </FONT></H4>
<P align=3Dleft>To prevent drowsy driving and its consequences, =
Americans need=20
information on approaches that may reduce their risks. The public needs =
to be=20
informed of the benefits of specific behaviors that help avoid becoming =
drowsy=20
while driving. Helpful behaviors include (1) planning to get sufficient =
sleep,=20
(2) not drinking even small amounts of alcohol when sleepy, and (3) =
limiting=20
driving between midnight and 6 a.m. As soon as a driver becomes sleepy, =
the key=20
behavioral step is to stop driving-for example, letting a passenger =
drive or=20
stopping to sleep before continuing a trip. Two remedial actions can =
make a=20
short-term difference in driving alertness: taking a short nap (about 15 =
to 20=20
minutes) and consuming caffeine equivalent to two cups of coffee. The=20
effectiveness of any other steps to improve alertness when sleepy, such =
as=20
opening a window or listening to the radio, has not been demonstrated. =
</P>
<P align=3Dleft>A more informed medical community could help reduce =
drowsy driving=20
by talking to patients about the need for adequate sleep, an important =
behavior=20
for good health as well as drowsy-driving prevention. The detection and=20
management of illnesses that can cause sleepiness, such as SAS and =
narcolepsy,=20
are other health care-related countermeasures. </P>
<P align=3Dleft>Information could be provided to the public and =
policymakers about=20
the purpose and meaning of shoulder rumble strips, which alarm or awaken =
sleepy=20
drivers whose vehicles are going off the road. These rumble strips =
placed on=20
high-speed, controlled-access, rural roads reduce drive-off-the-road =
crashes by=20
30 to 50 percent. However, rumble strips are not a solution for sleepy =
drivers,=20
who must view any wake-up alert as an indication of impairment-a signal =
to stop=20
driving and get adequate sleep before driving again. </P>
<P align=3Dleft>Employers, unions, and shift work employees need to be =
informed=20
about effective measures they can take to reduce sleepiness resulting =
from shift=20
work schedules. Countermeasures include following effective strategies =
for=20
scheduling shift changes and, when shift work precludes normal nighttime =
sleep,=20
planning a time and an environment to obtain sufficient restorative =
sleep.</P>
<H4 align=3Dleft><FONT face=3DArial>FOCUSING AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN: =
PANEL=20
RECOMMENDATIONS </FONT></H4>
<P align=3Dleft>To assist the educational campaign in developing its =
educational=20
initiatives, the panel recommended the following three priority =
areas:</P>
<OL>
  <LI>
  <P align=3Dleft>Educate young males (ages 16 to 24) about drowsy =

  <LI>
  <P align=3Dleft>Educate shift workers about the risks of drowsy =
driving and how=20

<P align=3Dleft>The panel also identified complementary messages for the =
campaigns=20

<P>In the 1996 appropriations bill for the U.S. Department of =
Transportation,=20
the Senate Appropriations Committee report noted that "NHTSA data =
indicate that=20
in recent years there have been about 56,000 crashes annually in which =
driver=20
drowsiness/fatigue was cited by police. Annual averages of roughly =
40,000=20
nonfatal injuries and 1,550 fatalities result from these crashes. It is =
widely=20
recognized that these statistics underreport the extent of these types =
of=20
crashes. These statistics also do not deal with crashes caused by driver =

inattention, which is believed to be a larger problem." </P>
<P>In response, Congress allocated funds for a public education campaign =
on=20
drowsy driving among noncommercial drivers, to be sponsored by the =
National=20
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Center on =
Sleep=20
Disorders Research (NCSDR) of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood =
Institute, the=20
National Institutes of Health. This focus complements Federal Highway=20
Administration efforts to address the problem among commercial vehicle =
drivers=20
(Federal Register, 1996).</P>
<P>To provide evidence-based direction to this campaign, the Expert =
Panel on=20
Driver Fatigue and Sleepiness reviewed the research conducted to date on =

drowsy-driving crashes. The resulting report outlines the following:=20

<P>In addition to summarizing what is known-and what remains =

and highway safety research, the report also presents the panel's=20

message points for the NCSDR/NHTSA campaign. </P>

<P>Sleepiness, also referred to as drowsiness, is defined in this report =
as the=20
need to fall asleep, a process that is the result of both the circadian =
rhythm=20
and the need to sleep (see below). Sleep can be irresistible; =
recognition is=20
emerging that neurobiologically based sleepiness contributes to human =
error in a=20
variety of settings, and driving is no exception (=EF=BF=BDkerstedt, =
1995a, 1995b;=20
Dinges, 1995; Horne, 1988; Sharpley, 1996; Martikainen, 1992). In the =
more=20
recent surveys and reporting of noncommercial crashes, investigators =
have begun=20
to collect and analyze data for instances in which the driver may have =
fallen=20
asleep. </P>
<P>The terms "fatigue" and "inattention" are sometimes used =
interchangeably with=20
sleepiness; however, these terms have individual meanings (Brown, 1994). =

Strictly speaking, fatigue is the consequence of physical labor or a =
prolonged=20
experience and is defined as a disinclination to continue the task at =
hand. In=20
regard to driving, a psychologically based conflict occurs between the=20
disinclination to drive and the need to drive. One result can be a =
progressive=20
withdrawal of attention to the tasks required for safe driving. =
Inattention can=20
result from fatigue, but the crash literature also identifies =
preoccupation,=20
distractions inside the vehicle, and other behaviors as inattention =
(Treat et=20
al., 1979). </P>
<P>The driving literature before 1985 made little mention of sleepiness =
and=20
instead focused on the prevention of inattention and fatigue; traffic =
crash=20
forms did not have a category for reporting sleepiness as a crash cause. =

Certainly, sleepiness can contribute to fatigue and inattention, and =
given the=20
lack of objective tests or uniform reporting requirements to distinguish =
these=20
different crash causes, misclassification and inconsistencies in the =
primary=20
data and the literature can be expected. Some, but not all, recent =
studies and=20
reviews make an explicit assumption that given the uncertainty in crash =
reports,=20
all crashes in the fatigue and inattention categories should be =
attributed to=20
sleepiness. The panel suspects that sleepiness-related crashes are still =
very=20
often reported in the categories of fatigue and inattention, and it =
reached=20
consensus that sleepiness is an underrecognized feature of noncommercial =

automobile crashes. </P>
<P>The panel concluded that the data on fatigue and inattention provide =
less=20
support for defining risk factors and high-risk groups than the data on=20
sleepiness or drowsiness. In addition, sleepiness is identifiable, =
predictable,=20
and preventable. </P>
<H4><FONT face=3DArial>THE SLEEP-WAKE CYCLE </FONT></H4>
<P>A body of literature exists on the mechanisms of human sleep and =
sleepiness=20
that affect driving risks. The sleep-wake cycle is governed by both =
homeostatic=20
and circadian factors. Homeostasis relates to the neurobiological need =
to sleep;=20
the longer the period of wakefulness, the more pressure builds for sleep =
and the=20
more difficult it is to resist (Dinges, 1995). The circadian pacemaker =
is an=20
internal body clock that completes a cycle approximately every 24 hours. =

Homeostatic factors govern circadian factors to regulate the timing of=20
sleepiness and wakefulness. </P>
<P>These processes create a predictable pattern of two sleepiness peaks, =
which=20
commonly occur about 12 hours after the midsleep period (during the =
afternoon=20
for most people who sleep at night) and before the next consolidated =
sleep=20
period (most commonly at night, before bedtime) (Richardson et al., =
1982; see=20
figure 1). Sleep and wakefulness also are influenced by the light/dark =
cycle,=20
which in humans most often means wakefulness during daylight and sleep =
during=20
darkness. People whose sleep is out of phase with this cycle, such as =
night=20
workers, air crews, and travelers who cross several time zones, can =
experience=20
sleep loss and sleep disruption that reduce alertness =
(=EF=BF=BDkerstedt, 1995b; Samel=20
et al., 1995). </P>
<P>The panel noted that the sleep-wake cycle is intrinsic and =
inevitable, not a=20
pattern to which people voluntarily adhere or can decide to ignore. =
Despite the=20
tendency of society today to give sleep less priority than other =
activities,=20
sleepiness and performance impairment are neurobiological responses of =
the human=20
brain to sleep deprivation. Training, occupation, education, motivation, =
skill=20
level, and intelligence exert no influence on reducing the need for =
sleep.=20
Micro-sleeps, or involuntary intrusions of sleep or near sleep, can =
overcome the=20
best intentions to remain awake. </P>
<H4><FONT face=3DArial>SLEEPINESS IMPAIRS PERFORMANCE </FONT></H4>
<P>Sleepiness leads to crashes because it impairs elements of human =
performance=20

</FONT></H4>
<P>Although alcohol and some medications can independently induce =
sleepiness,=20
the primary causes of sleepiness and drowsy driving in people without =
sleep=20
disorders are sleep restriction and sleep fragmentation. </P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Sleep restriction or loss. </STRONG></EM>Short duration =
of sleep=20
appears to have the greatest negative effects on alertness (Rosenthal et =
al.,=20
1993a; Gillberg, 1995). Although the need for sleep varies among =
individuals,=20
sleeping 8 hours per 24-hour period is common, and 7 to 9 hours is =
needed to=20
optimize performance (Carskadon, Roth, 1991). Experimental evidence =
shows that=20
sleeping less than 4 consolidated hours per night impairs performance on =

vigilance tasks (Naitoh, 1992). Acute sleep loss, even the loss of one =
night of=20
sleep, results in extreme sleepiness (Carskadon, 1993b). The effects of =
sleep=20
loss are cumulative (Carskadon, Dement, 1981). Regularly losing 1 to 2 =
hours of=20
sleep a night can create a "sleep debt" and lead to chronic sleepiness =
over=20
time. Only sleep can reduce sleep debt. In a recent study, people whose =
sleep=20
was restricted to 4 to 5 hours per night for 1 week needed two full =
nights of=20
sleep to recover vigilance, performance, and normal mood (Dinges et al., =
1997).=20
</P>
<P>Both external and internal factors can lead to a restriction in the =
time=20
available for sleep. External factors, some beyond the individual's =
control,=20
include work hours, job and family responsibilities, and school bus or =
school=20
opening times. Internal or personal factors sometimes are involuntary, =
such as a=20
medication effect that interrupts sleep. Often, however, reasons for =
sleep=20
restriction represent a lifestyle choice-sleeping less to have more time =
to=20
work, study, socialize, or engage in other activities.</P>
<P><EM>Job-Related Sleep Restriction. </EM>Contemporary society =
functions 24=20
hours a day. Economic pressures and the global economy place increased =
demands=20
on many people to work instead of sleep, and work hours and demands are =
a major=20
cause of sleep loss. For example, respondents to the New York State =
survey who=20
reported drowsy-driving incidents cited a variety of reasons related to =
work=20
patterns. These included working more than one job, working extended =
shifts (day=20
plus evening plus night), and working many hours a week (McCartt et al., =
1996).=20
</P>
<P><EM>Personal Demands and Lifestyle Choices.</EM> Many Americans do =
not get=20
the sleep they need because their schedules do not allow adequate time =
for it.=20
Juggling work and family responsibilities, combining work and education, =

making time for enjoyable pastimes often leave little time left over for =

sleeping. Many Americans are unaware of the negative effects this choice =

have on health and functioning (Mitler et al., 1988). F</P>
<P>rom high-profile politicians and celebrities to the general =

people often see sleep as a luxury. One in four respondents who reported =

sleeping difficulties in a recent Gallup Survey said you cannot be =
successful in=20
a career and get enough sleep (National Sleep Foundation, 1995).</P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Sleep fragmentation.</STRONG></EM> Sleep is an active =
process,=20
and adequate time in bed does not mean that adequate sleep has been =
obtained.=20
Sleep disruption and fragmentation cause inadequate sleep and can =
negatively=20
affect functioning (Dinges, 1995). Similar to sleep restriction, sleep=20
fragmentation can have internal and external causes. The primary =
internal cause=20
is illness, including untreated sleep disorders. Externally, =
disturbances such=20
as noise, children, activity and lights, a restless spouse, or =
job-related=20
duties (e.g., workers who are on call) can interrupt and reduce the =
quality and=20
quantity of sleep. Studies of commercial vehicle drivers present similar =

findings. For example, the National Transportation Safety Board (1995) =
concluded=20
that the critical factors in predicting crashes related to sleepiness =
(which=20
this report called "fatigue") were duration of the most recent sleep =
period, the=20
amount of sleep in the previous 24 hours, and fragmented sleep patterns. =
</P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Circadian factors. </STRONG></EM>As noted earlier, the =
circadian=20
pacemaker regularly produces feelings of sleepiness during the afternoon =

Shift work=20
also can disturb sleep by interfering with circadian sleep patterns.</P>
<H4><FONT face=3DArial>EVALUATING SLEEPINESS </FONT></H4>
<P>An ideal measure of sleepiness would be a physiologically based =
screening=20
tool that is rapid and suitable for repeated administration (Mitler, =

1996). No measures currently exist for measuring sleepiness in the =

crash situations. Furthermore, a crash is likely to be an altering =
circumstance.=20
A measuring system would be performance based and in vehicle, linked to =
alerting=20

<P>The current tools for the assessment of sleepiness are based on=20
questionnaires and electrophysiological measures of sleep, and there is =
interest=20
in vehicle-based monitors. A comprehensive review of these efforts is =
beyond the=20
scope of the present report. In the following brief discussion, some =
tools for=20
the assessment of sleepiness are described to illustrate the different=20
subjective and objective measures of chronic and situational (acute) =
sleepiness=20
and the vehicle-based technology to sense sleepiness.</P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Assessment for chronic sleepiness. </STRONG></EM>The =
Epworth=20
Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (Johns, 1991) is an eight-item, self-report =
measure that=20
quantifies individuals' sleepiness by their tendency to fall asleep "in =
your=20
usual way of life in recent times" in situations like sitting and =
reading,=20
watching TV, and sitting in a car that is stopped for traffic. People =
scoring 10=20
to 14 are rated as moderately sleepy, whereas a rating of 15 or greater=20
indicates severe sleepiness. The ESS is not designed to be used to =
assess=20
situational sleepiness or to measure sleepiness in response to an acute =
sleep=20
loss. The ESS has been used in research on driver sleepiness and in =
correlations=20
of sleepiness to driving performance in people with medical disorders. =
</P>
<P>Other rating tools that measure an individual's experience with =
sleepiness=20
over an extended period of time and contain a component or scale that is =

congruent with measuring sleepiness include the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality =
Index=20
(Buysse et al., 1989) and the Sleep-Wake Activity Inventory (Rosenthal =
et al.,=20
1993b). Other self-report instruments obtain historical information =
pertinent to=20
sleepiness using patient logs and sleep-wake diaries (Douglas et al., =
1990) and=20
the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire (Douglas et al., 1994). The =
information=20
gathered with these instruments has not been as widely applied to =
assessments of=20
noncommercial crashes. </P>
<P>Laboratory tools for measuring sleepiness include the Multiple Sleep =
Latency=20
Test (MSLT) (Carskadon et al., 1986; Carskadon, Dement, 1987) and the=20
Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) (Mitler et al., 1982). The MSLT =
mea- sures=20
the tendency to fall asleep in a standardized sleep-promoting situation =
during=20
four or five 20-minute nap opportunities that are spaced 2 hours apart=20
throughout the day and in which the individual is instructed to try to =
fall=20
asleep. Sleep is determined by predefined brain wave sleep-staging =
criteria. The=20
presumption under-lying this test is that people who fall asleep faster =
are=20
sleepier. Individuals who fall asleep in 5 minutes or less are =
considered=20
pathologically sleepy; taking 10 minutes or more to fall asleep is =
considered=20
normal. In the MWT, individuals are instructed to remain awake, and the =
time it=20
takes (if ever) in 20 minutes to fall asleep by brain wave criteria is =
the=20
measure of sleepiness. </P>
<P>Although the relative risk for fall-asleep crashes has not been =
established,=20
individuals who exhibit a sleep latency of less than 15 minutes on the =
MWT are=20
categorically too sleepy to drive a motor vehicle (Mitler, Miller, =
1996). </P>
<P>The MSLT and MWT were developed for neuro- physiologic assessment and =

sleepiness have chosen ratings 1 or 2. </P>
<P>The Karolinska Sleep Diary (=EF=BF=BDkerstedt et al., 1994) contains =
questions=20

Anchors for sleepiness range from "just about asleep" (left end) to "as =

drowsy driving. </P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Chronic sleepiness.</STRONG></EM> In a recent Gallup =
survey,=20
approximately one-half of U.S. adults reported experiencing sleeping=20
difficulties sometimes, with about 1 in 10 saying the difficulties are =

(National Sleep Foundation, 1995). In a 1997 followup survey, three of =
four=20
Americans who reported getting as much or more sleep than they "need" =
said they=20
were sleepy during the day. One in three of the adult public was deemed=20
"significantly" sleepy on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and 1 in =
20 scored=20
at the "severe" sleepiness level (National Sleep Foundation Survey, =
1997). </P>
<P>In the New York State survey, the reported frequency of drowsy =
driving in the=20
past year was associated with the quantity and quality of sleep =
obtained. For=20
example, those who reported having fair or poor sleep quality were more =
likely=20
to have driven drowsy sometimes or very often than were those who said =
their=20
sleep was good or excellent (McCartt et al., 1996). </P>
<P>In addition, Maycock (1996) found that higher scores on the ESS were=20
positively associated with crashes. Drivers who reported having trouble =

driven drowsy (McCartt et al., 1996). </P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Acute sleep loss. </STRONG></EM>As discussed in section =
II, the=20
loss of even one night of sleep may cause extreme sleepiness. Short-term =

<P><EM><STRONG>Sleep-restrictive work patterns. </STRONG></EM>Working =
the night=20

may be=20
both chronic and acute. In the New York State survey, nearly one-half =
the drowsy=20
drivers who crashed (and more than one-third of those who drove drowsy =
without=20
crashing) reported having worked the night shift or overtime prior to =
the=20
incident. In addition, a higher reported frequency of driving drowsy was =

associated with working a rotating shift, working a greater number of =
hours per=20
week, and more frequently driving for one's job (McCartt et al., 1996). =
In the=20
British study (Maycock, 1996), respondents said that working the night =
shift led=20
to sleepiness while driving, and in many studies a majority of shift =
workers=20
admit having slept involuntarily on the night shift. The return to day =
work and=20
morning shifts starting between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. also may lead to =
sleepiness.=20
EEG studies of sleep in rotating shift workers in both the natural =
environment=20
and the laboratory have shown that day sleep after night work and early =
night=20
sleep before morning work (e.g., going to sleep at 7 or 8 p.m. before a =
4 a.m.=20
shift) is 2 to 4 hours shorter than night sleep (=EF=BF=BDkerstedt, =
1995a). </P>
<P>In addition, a study of hospital house staff working around the clock =

(Marcus, Loughlin, 1996) found higher levels of sleepiness and crashes =
following=20
on-call periods. In a survey of hospital nurses, night nurses and =
rotators were=20
more likely than nurses on other shifts to report nodding off at work =
and at the=20

<H4><FONT face=3DArial>DRIVING PATTERNS </FONT></H4>
<P>Driving patterns, including both time of day and amount of time =

increase crash risk. As detailed in section III, the greatest proportion =
of=20
drowsy-driving crashes occurs during the late-night hours. The biology =
of the=20
sleep-wake cycle predicts sleepiness during this time period, which is a =

circadian sleepiness peak and a usual time of darkness. Other driving =
time=20
patterns that increase risk include driving a larger number of miles =
each year=20
and a greater number of hours each day (McCartt et al., 1996) and =
driving a=20
longer time without taking a break or, more often, driving for 3 hours =

(Maycock, 1996). </P>
<H4><FONT face=3DArial>THE USE OF SEDATING MEDICATIONS </FONT></H4>
<P>A number of studies indicate that using certain medications increases =

The risks=20
are higher with higher drug doses and for people taking more than one =

females or other age groups across all drug classes. It appears that =

<P>Horne and Reyner (1995a) suggest that a combination of having more of =

shift workers typically get 1.5 fewer hours of sleep per 24 hours as =

<P>Investigations have demonstrated that circadian phase disruptions =

<P>Hospital interns and residents routinely lose sleep during on-call =
periods,=20
which may last 24 hours or more. A survey of house staff at a large =
urban=20
medical school found that respondents averaged 3 hours of sleep during =
33-hour=20
on-call shifts, much of which was fragmented by frequent interruptions =
(Marcus,=20
Loughlin, 1996). About 25 percent reported that they had been involved =
in a=20
motor vehicle crash, 40 percent of which occurred while driving home =
from work=20
after an on-call night. Others reported frequently falling asleep at the =

without crashing, for example, while stopped at a traffic light. </P>
<P>Although this evidence does not demonstrate a conclusive association =

shift work and crashes, the panel believes that shift workers' increased =

for sleepiness are likely to translate into an increased risk for =

crashes. Competing demands from family, second jobs, and recreation =
often=20
further restrict the hours available for sleep and further disrupt the =

schedule. </P>
<P>The panel also designated shift workers as a high-risk group because =

increasing. This sector is growing at a rate of 3 percent per year, as=20

<P>Although the absolute number of crashes is low, crash risk is =

with untreated SAS. However, because SAS is more common than narcolepsy, =
the=20
absolute number of crashes is higher for those with untreated SAS =
(Aldrich,=20
1989). In addition, patients with untreated SAS or narcolepsy perform =

on driving simulation and vigilance or attention tests than do people =
without=20
these disorders (Findley, 1995; American Thoracic Society, 1994; =
Haraldsson et=20

crashes in a dose-response manner (Stradling et al., 1991; Philip et =

Hanning, Welch, 1996; Ohayon, Priest, Caulet, et al., 1997). </P>
<P>Although these conditions place people at higher risk for =

example, many=20
people with these disorders report no auto crashes (Findley et al., =

Aldrich, 1989). Findley and colleagues (1989) found that patients with =

mild apnea. A patient who can recognize impending uncontrollable =

<P>Sleep apnea syndrome is somewhat more common among males than among =

and typical patients tend to be overweight and middle aged or older, =

<H4><FONT face=3DArial>BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS </FONT></H4>
<P>In addition to getting adequate sleep before driving, drivers can =
plan ahead=20
to reduce the risk of drowsy driving in other ways. Some evidence exists =
that=20
napping before a long drive may help make up for sleep loss in the short =
term=20
and enhance wakefulness during the drive. Napping has the greatest =
effect on=20
performance several hours after the nap (Dinges et al., 1987; Dinges, =
1992,=20
1995). Two other proven interventions avoid known problem situations: =
not=20
drinking alcohol when sleepy (Roehrs et al., 1994) and not driving =
between=20
midnight and 6 a.m. (Mitler et al., 1988; =EF=BF=BDkerstedt, 1995c), =
especially well=20
into the period when sleep is usual (Brown, 1994). Graduated =
driver-licensing=20
programs that disallow late-night driving among younger drivers can =
mandate this=20
risk-avoiding behavior (Waller, 1989; Frith, Perkins, 1992). </P>
<P>When a driver becomes drowsy, the most obvious behavioral step for =
avoiding a=20
crash is to stop driving and sleep for an extended period. When this =
approach is=20
not practical and another driver is not available to take over, studies =
have=20
found two remedial actions that can make a short-term difference: </P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Napping. </STRONG></EM>Taking a break for a short nap =
(about 15=20
to 20 minutes) has been shown to improve subsequent performance, even =
among=20
sleep-deprived people (Horne, Reyner, 1995a; Dinges et al., 1987; Philip =
et al.,=20
1997). Naitoh (1992) found that short naps every 6 hours during a =
35-hour=20
(otherwise sleepless) period was effective in maintaining performance in =
the=20
laboratory. However, nappers are often groggy for about 15 minutes upon=20
awakening from naps longer than 20 minutes (Dinges, 1992). Practical =
issues with=20
this strategy include the inability of some people to take short naps =
and the=20
need for secure rest areas. The New York State survey found that about =
one-third=20
of drivers had needed or wanted to stop in the past year, but a rest =
area was=20
not available. Many also were unlikely to use a rest area when they were =
driving=20
alone at night. </P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Consuming caffeine. </STRONG></EM>Caffeine, even in low =
doses,=20
significantly improves alertness in sleepy people (but only marginally =
in those=20
already alert) (Regina et al., 1974; Lumley et al., 1987; Griffiths et =
al.,=20
1990; Lorist et al., 1994). The minimum dose needed can be obtained in =
about two=20
cups of percolated coffee, although caffeine content of coffee varies =
widely=20
(Fox, 1993). Caffeine also is available in other forms such as=20
caffeine-fortified soft drinks and tablets. In driving simulators,=20
sleep-deprived drivers who consumed caffeine reduced lane deviations, =
potential=20
crashes, and sleepiness for about an hour after consumption (Horne, =
Reyner,=20
1995a). </P>
<P>In addition, limited evidence suggests that physical discomfort (such =
as=20
sitting in an uncomfortable seat or position and shivering or sweating) =
may also=20
keep sleepy drivers awake (=EF=BF=BDkerstedt, Ficca, 1997). Nicotine can =
improve=20
short-term performance significantly in people with cognitive or =
attention=20
performance impairments such as those from sleepiness (Kerr et al., =
1991).=20
Obviously, however, smoking tobacco should not be generally recommended =
in an=20
educational campaign as a drowsy-driving countermeasure because the=20
well-established risks substantially outweigh the possible benefits. The =
panel=20
found no evidence of effectiveness for commonly accepted remedial =
approaches=20
such as brief exercise (e.g., getting out of the car and walking around =
for a=20
few minutes) (Horne, 1988), listening to the car radio, or opening the =

driver-reported steps such as talking to another passenger, talking on a =

that talking on a cellular phone while driving is associated with =

<P>To date, research has validated only one type of device that alarms =

Alexander, 1995; National Sleep Foundation, June 1997). However, the=20

<P>Section II lists some of the technological in-vehicle monitors =

</P>
<P>An inherent deficiency in all types of alerting devices is that many =

Some safety experts have expressed concern that alerting devices may in =

Because of the complexity of the issues involved (Rosekind et al., =

<P>Several approaches have been effective in reducing sleepiness caused =

chronically sleepy student who also works part-time, participates in=20
extracurricular activities, and has an active social life. The "all =

represents an acute risk because extreme tiredness follows one sleepless =

The recommended action is not to start a long drive after one or more =
sleepless=20
nights (e.g., do not drive home from college the day your exams are =
over; get a=20

often sleepy because their work times are inconsistent with the natural=20
sleep-wake cycle. Workers on these shifts routinely get less sleep and =
lower=20
quality sleep than do day workers. Driving while sleepy is a risky =
behavior that=20
leads to many serious crashes each year. </P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Driving between midnight and 6 a.m. and driving home =
immediately=20
after an extended or night shift are special risks for a drowsy-driving =
crash.=20
</STRONG></EM>Driving during late night/early morning hours increases =
risk for=20
all drivers because those hours are a natural period of sleepiness. Many =

drowsy-driving crashes occur at this time. Driving while acutely tired, =
such as=20
after a night shift, also increases the risk of crashing. Shift workers, =
many of=20
whom are already chronically sleep deprived, are at extra risk.</P>
<P><EM><STRONG>You can take effective steps to reduce your risks.=20
</STRONG></EM>First, it is important to give regular priority to getting =
good=20
sleep by creating a quiet, cool, dark environment, allowing sufficient =
time for=20
sleep, and trying to sleep during the same hours each day. Another =
strategy is=20
to avoid driving home from work while sleepy (e.g., getting a ride from =
a family=20
member, taking a cab, napping before heading home). Consuming caffeine=20
equivalent to two cups of coffee may help improve alertness for a short =
period.=20

<P>The panel recognizes that limitations in resources will not allow =
NCSDR/NHTSA=20
to conduct all needed educational interventions. However, other sponsors =
can=20
make an important contribution by disseminating messages to high-risk =
audiences,=20
intermediaries, and gatekeepers, such as industries where shift work is=20
prevalent. Potential sponsors may include consumer, voluntary, health =
care=20
professional, and industry groups and other government agencies. The =
panel=20
encourages such groups to use this report and resulting campaign =
materials to=20
inform and assist their own audience-specific efforts. NCSDR/NHTSA =
efforts to=20
educate the public, especially youth, about the importance of sleep and =
sleep=20

messages on the prevention of fall-asleep crashes. </P></BODY></HTML>
