Sleep Science
What happens when sleep is missing, and what changes at the wheel?
The scientific section of Drive Awake: sleep disorders, how sleepiness is measured, the body's rhythm. From science to the road.
Sleep is not a passive state. It is the work that keeps attention, perception and readiness in order. Sleep Science is the section where Drive Awake brings this science to the road: the disorders that affect it, how sleepiness is measured, the body's rhythm that decides when it weighs most. Research, interviews and documentary production, always with the sources.
