THE BOOK THAT KEEP YOU ALIVE

This book aims to help fill the knowledge gap by telling you the "must knows" about drowsy driving:

  • What the causes of drowsy driving are - when, where and why you are most "at risk" to drowsy driving such as afternoon driving or after a plane flight or after fast foods or while on medication;
  • What the best ways are for you to avoid drowsy driving - the steps to minimise your risk of being a drowsy driver;
  • And, if you do feel drowsy, what you must do to stay alive - and this is the simple bit - you must stop as soon as possible and take a 15 minute "power nap".

This book also dispels some drowsy driving myths. It tells you what things won't revive you when you are feeling drowsy.
