Crucial ways to prevent accidents caused by drowsy driving:

1. Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep before a long drive.

2. Take regular breaks: Stop every couple of hours to stretch, move around, and get fresh air.

3. Recognize fatigue signs: Yawning, blinking, drooping eyelids, and decreased alertness are warning signs.

4. Avoid driving during peak sleepiness hours: 2-4 pm and 12-2 am are typical times for drowsy driving.

5. Stay hydrated and energized: Drink water and eat nutritious snacks to maintain energy levels.

6. Avoid medication that causes drowsiness: Certain medications can impair driving ability.

7. Keep windows open for fresh air: Avoid driving with closed windows, which can lead to drowsiness.

8. Avoid driving alone: Having a passenger can help keep you alert.

9. Use caffeine wisely: A small amount can help, but excessive caffeine can lead to jitters and decreased alertness.

10. Pull over and rest: If you feel extremely tired, stop at a safe location and take a nap.

👉 Remember, drowsy driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving. Stay alert, stay awake, and stay safe on the roads!
