SleepSmartDriveSmart is an alliance of several organizations concerned with the increasing number of sleepy drivers. Our sole purpose is to educate drivers about the hazards of driving sleepy.
We live in a fast paced world and often try to cram 36 hours worth of work into 24. People will often work hard all day and then try and leave at night for vacation. This can create a dangerous combination. And even worse than those who occasionally lack sufficient sleep and then try and drive, are the drivers who are chronically sleepy. They are those who suffer from sleep disorders that prevent them from getting a good nights rest.
Working together, we know we can raise awareness about the dangers of driving sleepy, and possibly save a life.
According to the National
Sleep Foundation's Sleep
in America poll, 60% of
Americans have driven
while feeling sleepy and
37% admit to actually
having fallen asleep at the
wheel in the past year.
