PART 1:

Drowsy driving occurs frequently enough to warrant some discussion . See the online article “You May Be Sleeping at the Wheel,” by Annelena Lobb. (http://money.cnn.com/2002/09/05/pf/autos/q_microsleep/).

Do you believe technological advances might help to ward off drowsy driving. For example, BMW has been testing a “driving alertness assistant,” a built-in warning system that monitors eye movements to determine drivers’ alertness.?

What do you do when you feel tired behind the wheel? Putting the window down, drinking caffeine or blasting the music, does this really help. What are some alternatives or precautions that should be taken to prevent accidents and deaths from occurring when driving drowsy? Please include any personal experiences you or your family members have had with this topic and include cited resources other than this article.

PART 2:
Sleep is an important component of our circadian rhythms. Each night we go through four to five cycles of distinct sleep stages and each state has its own rhythms and corresponding changes in brain activity and behavior.

How do we know this? How can scientist study private mental events like sleep? Do not forget to include your cover sheet and your cited sources.
