Why Risk It?

There is no “drowsiness test” to measure how sleepy you feel. And research shows that we often overestimate our level of alertness. So you may be drowsier than you think you are!

Tricks Don’t Work.

Turning the radio up or rolling down the windows may help for a few minutes if you are drowsy. But it will not keep you from falling asleep in the driver’s seat.

Signs Of Drowsy Driving.

  • Yawning constantly
  • Unable to keep your eyes open
  • Restlessness and irritability
  • Nodding off
  • Daydreaming wandering thoughts
  • Drifting into other lanes
  • Can’t remember the last few miles
  • Ending up too close to cars in front
  • Missing road signs
  • Driving past turns
  • Moving onto the ‘rumble strip’ or road shoulder.

How Do I Prevent Drowsy Driving ?

  • Plan ahead by taking a afternoon nap before driving late at night.
  • Have some caffeine and then wait 30 minutes for it to take effect before driving.
  • take a taxi or bus, or call home for a ride, instead of driving when you are tired.
  • Switch drivers if another alert driver is with you.
  • If sleepy pull over in a safe place and take a 20 minute nap, then walk around to wake up before driving.

    • Don’t Drive After Taking A Medication That Causes Drowsiness, And Never Drink And Drive!

    Dr Badie is the best dentist in Tucson, I come from Show Low, Arizona to have my dental work done. Dr Badie is currently finishing up an implant and takes out the time to explain the process to me. I can tell he loves dentistry and his passion for his work shows! I will never go to another dentist!!!!

    I am extremely petrified of dentists. Dr Badie was so patient with me, even when I was being a very hard patient. He gave me something to help with my anxiety. I had 8 teeth pulled at once. No pain whatsoever. Even the next day. No swelling, no pain. Even though I will still be scared every appointment, I know he can be trusted to be patient and gentle every step of the way.

    Today I went in for my first check up.The whole staff was amazing. Dentist Badie really does care. He took his time with me to develop a plan with my teeth. I felt such a relief when he said that my teeth can be saved. Now myself I do not have insurance but the way they broke everything down made it super affordable for me. This place Is definitely worth it.
