How not to fall asleep behind the wheel

Statistics show that the causes of the accident (road traffic accident) is drunk driving (without comments), foolhardiness (speeding), inattention (inexperience), failure of the vehicle ( vehicle) and fell asleep at the wheel. I'm not going to write about the first four, there's all clear, but that's about the last paragraph, fell asleep behind the wheel, try to stop and describe the reasons.

Instruction

Difficulty level: Easy

step 1

The fatigue. The first reason and the most common. The driver is a long time behind the wheel, especially professional drivers, or the day before worked and did hard work (night shift) it belongs to the fans. How to get out of this situation. If you are a long time in transit should stop every two hours, wash your face with cold water, and drink strong coffee or tea. Do the exercises, squats, Mahi hands shed blood. Many of saved energy drinks, I would not advise - burdened heart, and getting used to them strong.

2 step

The alcohol. Behind the wheel, drunk, sits flatly impossible!!! Here can and will stop. You can only add, that alcohol, even when allowed to 0.35 ppm content in the blood and 0.16 milligrams of ethyl alcohol per litre of exhaled air, dramatically increases the likelihood of falling asleep driver. I will not comment, drunk driving is a criminal!

3 step

Riding with a full stomach, i. e. after a heavy lunch. When a large amount of food in the stomach outflow of blood from the brain and he starts to fall asleep . Remember how after lunch, you always want to take a NAP - it's great, just not behind the wheel. My comment with a lot of stomach to sit behind the wheel, it is strictly not recommended.

step 4

Drugs. If you are sick and need to go. Before you take a medicine, read the abstract, namely side effects. I had to take medicine for allergies, so it was with the side effects as drowsiness, well that is not long to go, but it was still not pleasant. Experienced the inconveniences of drowsiness while driving.

5 step

Riding at night, at an inopportune time. So we arranged that day we work-awake, and at night the body is resting. Here we should proceed from the characteristics of the organism, someone owl and someone lark , just need to adjust their biological clock. If you say to yourself, I try to avoid night journeys, as an early riser . It's easier for me to get up early and see the sunrise on the road.

6 step

Well, this is just a small list of reasons that affect sleepiness behind the wheel. Here you can add and climate control in the cabin, the heat itself has to sleep, quiet music. Here you can suggest, the compartment temperature should not exceed +22 degrees, and the music will change to a vigorous and rhythmic, and even better, yourself sing, it helps me for sure. Monotonous road especially when you know the way dulls the mind and of itself calms down and begins to sleep. And another tip, take a companion, he says, sings and makes you relax. Probably this is the main Board. Here and all.
