In the first known scientific study into the important question of near-miss sleepy accidents and their association with actual accidents, a study published in the March 1st issue of the journal SLEEP finds that sleepy near-misses may be dangerous precursors to an actual accident.
So says a proud press release from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, issued March 1, 2007.
Dr. Nelson B. Powell of Stanford University is lead author of the study.
