    this shows that we can go to sleep in a few sec and have an acc. i think many more acc could happen because we dont pull over when we feel drowsy many of us have been lucky not to have had an acc.

    fallen asleep while driving and at work, seem to be my problem. i dont know what it is i go to sleep but maybe my mind is not resting. i had one accident from fallen asleep. i also have had other close calls. sometimes it havens so fast i have no warning signs of being sleepy.

    Like many public health issues (and private ones for that matter), drowsy driving should be addresses through both prevention and countermeasures: http://www.sleepdex.org/drowsy-driving.htm
