Mission Prep on the Risks of Drowsy Driving Among Teens
Mission Prep and Aja Chavez recently shared insights on a concerning new survey revealing that 1 in 6 teens admits to driving while drowsy. Sleep deprivation can impair reaction times, decision-making, and focus—making drowsy driving just as dangerous as other forms of impaired driving.
Experts warn that fatigue-related crashes can be especially severe, as drowsy drivers often fail to react in time to avoid collisions. Factors like academic stress, social commitments, and screen time contribute to sleep deprivation in teens, increasing their risk behind the wheel.
At Mission Prep, we advocate for greater awareness, better sleep habits, and open discussions about the dangers of drowsy driving. Encouraging teens to prioritize rest and recognize the warning signs of fatigue can help prevent accidents and keep our roads safer.
