(London.CityRegions.com, June 26, 2013 ) Kent, UK -- Young drivers who are looking to get behind the wheel after summer vacation may want to first catch up on some sleep before they set out on the roads.
A new study from the George Institute of Global Health in Sydney Australia has suggested that not getting enough Zs could put one at considerable risk of crashes. After looking over a questionnaire of over 19,300 individuals between the ages of 17-24, researchers found that on average, those individuals who reported sleeping six or fewer hours of sleep were more likely to be in accidents.
The study was published in the JAMA Pediatrics journal and was conducted by Dr. Alexandra LC Martiniuk and her colleagues. The study also noted that those who got less sleep on the weekends had a 55% increased chance of delivering dangerous maneuvers if their car ended up off the side of the road. In other words, single-car accidents were more likely in already dangerous situations. Those who had more sleep per night (8pm to 6am) were more likely to make proper decisions when driving.
The entire report underlines smart sleeping scheduling, as well as a proper bedding to sleep on. Having a quality bed to sleep on can mean sounder sleep and stronger sleeping habit. Both habits create a better driver, according to all recent studies.
“With over 90% of collisions caused by driver error there are too many avoidable tragedies on the road resulting in serious injury or death,” Peter Christianson, president of Young Drivers of Canada, wrote in an email. “When you combine a novice driver’s inexperience and lack of developed cognitive skills with insufficient sleep, that is serious and real problem.”
