how to avoid drowsiness on the road to vacation?

In the car, music helps to stay awake and alert. “It’s an interesting study, because it shows above all that between imposed music (…), music that you have chosen or podcasts, discussions, it is the last two strategies (…) which are most effective in trying to stay awake”indicates the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present, Thursday, July 7, on the set of 19/20.

However, nothing replaces a good night’s sleep. “Your brain is so made that it falls asleep any second”continues the doctor, who orders to “sleep at least seven hours before driving”. Indeed, a night of five or six hours doubles the risk of an accident. Also be careful when driving after a long day, “5 p.m. on average”. In this case, “It’s like driving with 0.5g of alcohol in your blood”, notes Damien Mascret. Finally, be careful not to drink alcohol the night before.
