Common Causes of Drowsy Driving Collisions 

Many drivers underestimate the dangers of fatigue behind the wheel. It’s easy to want to push through your tiredness when you have somewhere to be. However, when you drive while drowsy, you can impair your judgment and reaction time as severely as if you were intoxicated.

Unfortunately, many people choose to get behind the wheel and ignore their body’s warning signs, potentially leading to serious accidents. Common reasons why people drive while drowsy include:

• Lack of adequate sleep
• Shift work or irregular work hours
• Untreated sleep disorders
• Medication side effects
• Long-distance driving
• Early-morning or late-night travel
• Monotonous road conditions
• Demanding work schedules
• Sleep deprivation due to new parenthood
• Stress and emotional exhaustion
