In other words, driving sleep deprived!<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at Stanford University recently did a study with a group of sleep apnea patients (who they knew were sleep deprived), and compared their reaction times in a simulated driving environment to a group of \u201cnormal\u201d people, who they knew were well-rested. To make the contest fairer, though, they added a condition. Before they tested the \u201cnormal\u201d group, they gave them enough liquor to make them legally drunk in most states\u2014a 0.08% blood alcohol level!<br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" src=\"upload\/logo\/teen\/23f.gif\"\/><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva;\">How did the tired group do in the driving test compared to the drunks? Believe it or not, they lost! The people who were sleepy actually had slower reaction times than the people who were legally drunk!<\/p>\n<p>Next time you sit behind the wheel, ask yourself if you\u2019re sufficently rested to be driving. When you\u2019re tired, you\u2019re as dangerous (or worse) as a legally drunk driver!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/teen-zone\/\" id=\"33\" option=\"com_content\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">teen zone<\/span><\/a> <!--    END   - --> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3260,2932],"class_list":["post-36543","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-in-the-news","category-teen-zone"],"acf":{"article_id":"1571"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/36543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
