Sleepiness and driving is a dangerous combination. Most people are aware of the dangers of drinking and driving but don't realize that drowsy driving can be just as dangerous. Nationally, drowsy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes a year, resulting in 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths.
Sleepiness:
While everyone is susceptible to drowsy-driving crashes, shift workers run a particularly high risk. Their natural sleep patterns are disrupted by working nights or long and irregular hours.
The human body is governed by an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm that makes a person want to sleep when it's dark and be awake when it's light. It causes periods of sleepiness between midnight and 6 a.m.-the natural time for humans to sleep-then again in the midafternoon.
But shift workers have to try to sleep when their body is telling them to be awake, and be awake when their body is telling them to sleep. As a person gets more tired, they begin to miss things they would normally respond to, resulting in careless and even dangerous errors, particularly when driving. The late night and early morning drive times are the most hazardous, with the majority of crashes occurring between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.
