    ¿Cuál es el tiempo de sueño recomendable antes de conducir un vehículo?

    How much sleep is recommended before driving a vehicle?

    • ADormir al menos 4 horas, siempre que no se sienta somnolencia.At least 4 hours, as long as you do not feel sleepy.
    • BDormir entre 5 y 6 horas, si el descanso ha sido de calidad.Between 5 and 6 hours, if the rest has been of good quality.
    • CDormir entre 7 y 9 horas, como recomendación general para una conducción segura.Between 7 and 9 hours, as a general recommendation for safe driving.
    Explanation

    Sleep is a key factor for safe driving, because lack of rest causes sleepiness, less attention, a longer reaction time and worse decisions. As a general recommendation, you should sleep between 7 and 9 hours before driving, because this gives most people enough rest. Sleeping fewer hours, even if it sometimes seems enough, increases the risk of fatigue and of microsleeps at the wheel, which can cause serious accidents. So you should not drive without enough rest, or trust that 'feeling fine' can replace proper sleep.

    • Bes mejor reiniciar el GPS.it is better to restart the GPS.
    • Cse debe seguir la opinión del conductor.you should follow the driver's own judgement.
    Explanation

    The GPS is only an aid: if its directions raise doubts or do not match the signs or what the driver sees, the driver's judgement and what the signs show take precedence. Reprogramming or restarting it while driving is distracting and does not solve the situation.

43. Nº 43
