-Make sure you always get enough sleep before getting behind the wheel of a car. The National Sleep Foundation says adults need seven to nine hours a night.
-Take steps to limit the effects of shift work on your sleep. For those who work overnight or long hours, set a bedtime that you stick to every day — even your days off. Also, make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet.
-Plan ahead. If you’re headed somewhere in a different time zone, slowly adapt your body clock for long business trips by gradually adjusting your sleeping times until they’re the same as those at your destination. Or, if you’re planning to leave on a road trip, schedule your sleep so you’re well-rested for your trip.
-Be aware of medical issues. Whether it’s a sleep disorder or a drowsiness-inducing medication, be aware of any medical issues you’re dealing with and adjust your driving habits accordingly.
