A Highway Menace: A Pennsylvania nurse fell asleep behind the wheel on the short drive home after her shift was done. She crashed her car and sustained multiple fractures. Thankfully, no one else was injured. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 100,000 auto accidents are caused by sleepy drivers each year. Shift workers (such as nurses) are at especially high risk since they have chronically disrupted sleep patterns.
Tip: Find an empty on-call room where you can take a nap before you drive home—even if you live close by. Remember that most auto accidents happen close to home.
