Highway Hypnosis

Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”?

Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it

highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever.

There is something about an easy stretch of road with

the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the

road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the

wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.

Do not let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can

leave the road in

less than a second,

and you could

crash and be injured.

What can you do about highway hypnosis?

First, be aware that it can happen.

Then here are some tips:

• Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a

comfortably cool interior.

• Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and

to the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your

instruments frequently.

• If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest,

service or parking area and take a nap, get some

exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness

on the highway as an emergency.

Hill and Mountain Roads

Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from

driving in ﬂat or rolling terrain.
