5 Sleepiness and Driving

©MRSDC6 Sleep Defined as: A reversible behavioral state of perceptual disengagement from and unresponsiveness to the environment. ( Sleepy people are out of touch with their senses and can not responded to the environment.)

©MRSDC7 Overview of Sleep Sleep is generated by the brain and for the brain. The only organ of the body known to require or benefit from sleep is the brain.

©MRSDC8 The Two Genetically Determined Qualities Of Sleep: Total sleep requirement Timing of the sleep cycle (“owls” vs. “larks”)

©MRSDC9 On the Average How Much Sleep Do High School Students Need? ? ? ? ?? ?

©MRSDC10 Students Need

©MRSDC11 Sleep Requirement Each person needs a specific number of hours of sleep. (Range 4-10 hours) Any reduction below this amount accumulates as a sleep debt. (8 hours needed)-(6 hours slept) = sleep debt of 2 hours If you need 8 hours of sleep and you only average 6 hours M-F By the end of the weekend you will have accumulated a 10 hour sleep debt.

©MRSDC12 Determinants of Sleepiness Homeostatic (size of sleep debt) Circadian (biological clock) Aging (ontogeny), Drugs, Sleep disorders

©MRSDC13 Sleep Time and Rising Time Part 1 The typical 17 year old needs 9 hours of sleep each night to avoid going into sleep debt. The typical 17 year old goes to sleep at 11 PM on a school night and rises at 6:30 AM the next morning. This means a 1.5 hour sleep debt accumulates each school night.

©MRSDC14 Sleep Time and Rising Time Part 2 In a typical school week 7.5 hours of sleep debt will be accumulated by the typical 17 year old. The 17 year olds do get their needed 9 hours of sleep on the weekend, but they don’t pay down their sleep debt. When the sleep debt is large enough, sleep cannot be resisted.

©MRSDC15 Circadian Rhythms The human biologic clock has two “sleepy” periods: 1. Between midnight and 6 am 2. Early to mid afternoon

©MRSDC16 Fall-asleep crashes by age

©MRSDC17 Fall-asleep crashes by time of day

©MRSDC18 Factors That Can Decrease Your Awareness Of Sleepiness: High motivation Competing needs ( thirst, hunger, discomforts) Environment Individual differences

©MRSDC19 Factors Contributing to Sleepiness in Teenagers and Young Adults Biological / Physiological Social Behaviors Extracurricular activities Out-of school employment

©MRSDC20 Factors that Reveal Physiological Sleepiness: Heavy meal Warm room Comfortable bed Boring lecture Low dose alcohol

©MRSDC21 Biological Factors The need for sleep increases at mid-puberty even without any change in a mid-puberty even without any change in a youngster's nighttime sleep length. Adolescence is characterized by a strong preference for late bedtimes and late rise times.

©MRSDC22 Sleepiness Causes: Decreased Alertness Slowed Reaction Times Attentional Deficits Increase Irritability

©MRSDC23 Sleepiness Impairs Performance In the classroom In the workplace Behind the wheel

©MRSDC24 Drowsy Drivers There is no such thing as a safe drowsy driver. The young man who received the "America's Safest Teen Driver" award in 1990 later fell asleep behind the wheel and had a fatal crash.

©MRSDC25 Countermeasures The commonly used ploys to stay awake (opening the windows, turning up the radio) have been shown scientifically NOT to work. Caffeine for some and sleep for all are the only effective countermeasures.
