Drive Alert: 5 Essential Tips to Combat Drowsy Driving and Prevent Accidents

• Drowsy driving is a leading cause of accidents globally, especially on long night journeys.
• Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep before any long trip; a 1-2 hour nap is crucial for night driving.
• Take a 5-10 minute break every 2 hours or 100-150 km to stretch, walk, and refresh yourself.
• Keep the car cool (22-24°C), play upbeat music, and eat light snacks to stay alert.
• Never ignore signs of sleepiness; pull over immediately for a 15-20 minute power nap to avoid accidents.
