Explanation

Sleepiness reduces our ability to pay attention and can lead us to accept a higher level of risk and, for example, drive faster, especially when we are close to our destination and very keen to arrive. The most important rules to avoid an accident caused by sleepiness or fatigue are: if we feel tired or sleepy while driving, the best thing is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 or 30 minutes; rest for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres at most; always watch for the signs and symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue.
