The Holidays will mean a lot of feasting and late night outs and with that thought alone, you will agree that drunk or even simply drowsy drivers are sure to plague the streets. And to help avoid such unfortunate incidents, perhaps this new system will minimize or better yet negate such accidents for the season of cheers.

The system is the Active Driver Monitoring System, something that should keep drivers alert by monitoring their eye and head movements as well as the driver’s hear rate. This breakthrough will certainly be a big help, especially for the people who may drink too much and at the wee hours too.

But even without the device, just make sure you get enough sleep and drink conservatively. Christmas is a season of celebrating and not for sulking.

Ondo State is pushing for a new anti-sleep gadget, one that may very well help curb down the accidents caused by drowsiness or sleeping when driving. Apparently the device is something that is attached to the ear of the driver which will trigger an alarm in case the driver becomes drowsy.

The campaign is something commenced by Chevron Nigeria Ltd. And Star Deep water Petroleum Ltd. The initiative is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility that is geared towards helping sleep-deprived truck drivers so that they may also pay more attention to safety measures while on the road.

The rate of auto crashes has claimed many lives within a span of two months and hopefully this campaign can somehow remedy the alarming development for drowsy and sleep-deprived truckers and drivers on the road.

New York Harbor Healthcare System will officially open a new Sleep Center this September 27, Monday. Now, veterans of all ages will be able to be diagnosed and treated for various sleep issues like obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, central sleep apnea syndromes, narcolepsy, as well as sleep problems associated with traumatic brain injury.

The new Sleep Center will be armed with a four-bed, state-of-the-art sleep laboratory that will provide advanced diagnostic sleep studies and therapies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Also, the center will be conducting home sleep studies for sleep apnea testing. Having poor sleep quality is more than just feeling tired. A lack of sleep can lead to other health problems, productivity problems at work and accidents.

This little gadget is meant to sit on your ear and when your head tilts forward more than 30 degrees, when that happens a high pitched alarm will sound in your ear. My problem would be that I tend to fidget a great deal when I’m tired, so I’d end up setting it off every five minutes.

Also, Think Geek suggests it for those all night gamers. You wouldn’t want to nod off in the middle of a boss fight. It is being sold for $14.99.

But the thing is, the probability of incurring an accident is quite high. People want to get to their homes hastily but consider options especially if you cannot keep your eyes wide open.
