“Both distracted driving and drowsy driving are significantly underreported, since there’s no objective measure as there is for blood-alcohol levels,” says Jane Stutts, Ph.D., associate director of the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center in Chapel Hill. “People do both all the time, so they don’t think it’s dangerous.”

Paul Rau, Ph.D., of NHTSA, tracks drowsiness in truck drivers using an infrared sensor that tracks when the driver’s eyelids are closed.

“When you become drowsy, you underestimate the passage of time,” says Rau. “Drivers are bad estimators of their level of alertness. They’ll run off the road before they realize how sleepy they are.”
