What do you do if you get tired while driving?
Researchers from the Transport Safety Research Centre (TSRC) at º£½ÇÉçÇø University are currently running research with a focus on understanding how people take nap breaks in their car if they find themselves experiencing sleepiness when driving.
We are looking for participants to complete an online questionnaire exploring their experiences of sleepiness when driving and of napping in the car. The survey is open to any drivers, regardless of whether or not they have ever taken a nap in their car. We are also particularly interested in hearing from professional drivers (such as bus or truck drivers) or drivers with sleep disorders (such as sleep apnoea). Participants must be aged 18 years or over and hold a driving licence.
After completing the survey, participants will be able to enter a prize draw to win one of ten £50 Amazon vouchers.
If you are interested in taking part in this research, or would be happy to share this research with relevant driver groups, the survey can be accessed here:
