Science Backed Tips

Whether you're juggling late-night feeds, toddler tantrums, or school runs, it’s easy to underestimate how tired you really are.

Driving Check - Before Picking Up Your Keys…

  • Am I feeling alert enough to concentrate on the road?

  • Have I had at least 5 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours?

  • Is this trip absolutely necessary right now, or can it wait?

  • Have I taken any medications that might impair my driving?

  • Can someone else drive instead, or could I take public transport?

  • Can I take a short nap before driving? If I can, I need to make sure I give myself at least an hour to wake up properly afterwards.

  • Can I avoid driving at night or early in the morning?

  • Can I schedule a break during my drive?

  • Am I displaying any symptoms of fatigue (e.g., yawning, heavy eyes)?

  • Do I feel irritable or easily overwhelmed?

  • Am I underestimating how tired I really am?

  • Would I let someone else drive if they felt the way I do right now?

  • How long is my drive going to be, and am I going to be able to stay alert for the whole drive?

  • Am I having trouble focusing or remembering things?
