Every year an estimated 600,000 accidents
are caused by drowsy drivers. None of these accidents would have
happened had the driver recognized that they where drowsy and pulled over
for a 15 minute nap. This website will help you understand some of
the mysteries of sleep using the latest research findings coupled with
our own first-hand experience with the problem. Our goal is to help you
avoid making the same mistakes that we, and 600,000 other people did.
There are three main points that all drivers should
understand about sleep. They are:
* Sleep comes in waves
* Sleep comes without warning
* You cannot will yourself awake
Remembering these three points and learning to recognize the signs of
drowsiness in yourself are key to keeping yourself safe.
Atigo, Inc. is a small research organization that has spend the past
five years investigating ways technology can be used to prevent drowsy
driving accidents. In the process, we discovered most people don't
understand sleep, and this is contributing to 600,000 accidents and 8,000
deaths every year. We've created this website to help address this
gap, but we need your help to keep it going. No corporations or government
agencies support our work. Our only source of funding is the generous
dontations from people like you. Please consider make a modest contribution
to help us keep this information available.
