The National Sleep Foundation yesterday suggested a number of tips to increase your safety on the road this holiday weekend. They point out that the impairment resulting from lacking sleep can be deadly. Here are their suggestions:Get a good night’s sleep before you hit the road. Don't be too rushed to arrive at your destination. Use the buddy system — drive in shifts. Take a break every 100 miles or 2 hours Avoid alcohol and medications. Avoid driving at times when you would normally be sleeping. Find a safe place to take a 15 to 20-minute nap. Pack a cooler filled with caffeinated beverages or keep caffeinated gum and mints in the glove box.
Lets all do our part to make the roads a safer place to be this holiday weekend.
