		<description><![CDATA[Within the framework of a recent research project, University of Granada researchers will analyze how sleep disorders affect risk perception in driving. Three last-generation simulators provided by the Psychology faculty will be employed. The purpose of the first study will be to analyze how a specific sleep disorder obstructive sleep apnea affects risk perception in driving, as well as the efficacy of the therapies in development to treat it.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2010/top-news/does-osa-lead-to-risking-driving-behaviors/' addthis:title='Study to analyze risk perception by drivers suffering from obstructive sleep apnea '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most all drivers have experienced it after long hours driving: the eyelids get heavy, a deep yawn, the neck muscles relax, the urge to sleep moves in, and then the head nodding up-and-down begins.

The problem with this is that the driver’s hands are still on the steering wheel, and many fortunate drivers were able to stop nodding in time to avoid an accident, such as with on-coming traffic or an overpass. For 100,000 drivers each year, though, a crash results, often proving to be fatal.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/yawns-warn-drivers-they-are-too-sleepy-to-drive/' addthis:title='Yawns should warn drivers they are too sleepy to drive '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
