H I G m A Y HYPNOSIS
Is there actually such a condition as "highway hypnosis"? Or is it just plain
falling asleep at the wheel'? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or
whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone
of
the engine, and
the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don't
let
it
happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less t l m
n secmd,
and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis'? First, be aware
that it
can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
0
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
0
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, o r both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as an emergency.
