SUMMARY Falling asleep at the wheel accounts for a sizeable number of vehicle accidents under monotonous driving conditions. The risk of driver death and serious injury is high. Circadian factors are profound and seem to be of equal (if not more) importance to the duration of the drive. Unfortunately, only the latter tends to be built into legislation.

Abstract In Chapter 1, I mentioned that the cortex is unable to switch off and rest to any marked extent, outside sleep. On the other hand, many brain structures below the cortex, largely controlling vital body functions and common to all mammals, continue to function fairly normally throughout sleep, as in wakefulness. Unlike the cortex,

Medical Clinics of North America, 2010
Sleepiness and drowsiness are neurophysiologic states that may cause attenuation of vigilance and slowing of reaction times, and thus increase the risks of driving. This article reviews selected peer-reviewed publications from the past and present body of knowledge regarding sleepiness and drowsiness while driving and related accidents, injuries, and ...

Sleep medicine can be a particularly rewarding clinical area for neurologists. After all, the driving organ of sleep is the brain. Many of the sleep disorders are primary brain disorders, whereas other sleep disorders (and their medications) influence brain function.

Sleepiness is a commonly experienced symptom affecting up to one-fifth of the population chronically. Sleepiness contributes to systemic health effects, and has been shown to contribute to mood disorders and cardiovascular risks. Sleepiness also presents a significant public health risk: it has been associated with major catastrophes, motor vehicle ...

Sleepiness and sleep deprivation among adolescents are increasingly being recognized as a public health concern. Many of the determinants of this growing problem lie beyond the biomedical scope of explanation. In this article, the authors begin with a review of the prevalence and consequences of sleepiness in adolescents and then present the approach ...
