Why Do You Always Feel Drowsy While Driving?

[ColeAnn]

Driving drowsiness can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Sleep Quality: Insomnia, late bedtime, poor sleep quality, or excessive sleepiness. 2. Living Environment: Heavy mental burdens, high social pressure, prolonged entertainment time, and other factors can lead to distracted driving. 3. Driving Conditions: Long-distance driving over extended periods or maintaining a constant speed for too long. 4. Driving Skills: Novice drivers with poor safety awareness are prone to dozing off, while experienced drivers may become overconfident, leading to a lack of focus. 5. This situation is particularly noticeable in summer. High temperatures, elevated cabin temperatures, and slow air circulation—especially during the afternoon—coincide with the body's natural tendency to feel drowsy. Driving on monotonous highways under such conditions can amplify the highway hypnosis effect, intensifying the driver's drowsiness.
