sleep driving

Posted by Nick Pietrzak on April 17, 1998 at 10:39:15:


In the last few years , I have had to fight a tendency to glaze over mentally while driving. It has nothing to do with fatigue. It can happen 5 min. after getting in the car or I can drive for hours without a problem. I found that when it starts to happen , if I nibble on a food I can stay somewhat alert, but yesterday I passed my exit on the interstate twice so it is not foolproof. Is this a sleep problem?
