Which circumstance related to rest can favor the onset of drowsiness while driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is changing usual sleeping hours. Drowsiness at the wheel does not appear solely from sleeping too few hours (quantity), but also from poor quality of rest or the disruption of biological rhythms (circadian rhythms). Changing sleep habits, as happens when working rotating shifts or occasionally staying up late, confuses the body and causes fatigue and drowsiness while driving, even if the person has slept, since the rest has not been restorative.
