Microsleep

Post by parrot » October 7, 2019, 5:22 pm

On the way back from KaoSuanKwang today, along the KK Hwy, these signs appeared. I've never heard of microsleep........but indeed, microsleep is a thing, often when you drive.

Few cars on the KK Hwy today.......going and returning. Smooth sailing but some rough patches in the slow lanes.

I experienced Microsleep once while driving through Glencoe, Scotland, very frightening. I had had a full nights sleep before setting out. No re-occurance thankfully. However, it would not be too high up on my list of necessary road signs in Thailand.

It's something I learned all about in my first year of professional driving and the ways to avoid it.

I would work driving around London until 6pm then have dinner and drive 200~250 miles at a maximum of 50mph then start driving again at 8:30 next morning to arrive back in London by 5pm. So yes Microsleep is absolutely real but as long as you know the signs avoidable with short naps.

Meanwhile, up the road in NK:
This time it was not brakes but microsleep.
