CROSSING THE LINE!

Critical question:
Do you know the physical and mental warning signs of sleep debt?
Let me ask you -- have any of these happened to you?

    - Had trouble keeping eyes open/head up 
    - Missed a gear or braked too late 
    - Frequent yawning, nodding off    
    - Hallucinations    - 
    - Failed to check your mirrors  

Can it get worse?  Yes it can. 
Here are a few habits that make fatigue worse. 

    Driving long distances without rest breaks
    Driving on long, boring roads
    Dehydration – your body needs around 8 glasses of water every day.  

     Did you know that fatigue accidents are typically: 
     > One person in the vehicle
     > Between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.
     > Head-on collisions - no attempt at avoiding the crash
     > Deadly

Remember this … a vehicle coming straight at you might have a sleeping driver at the wheel! It’s up to you to be alert and take avoiding action.

FATIGUE … it can put you to rest permanently.

Up next – your biological clock. Tick Talk!!
