Expressing support for the recognition of the week of November 2 through November 8, 2025, as "Drowsy Driving Prevention Week".

YourVoice.Now Summary

This resolution supports recognizing November 2–8, 2025, as Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. Studies show that being awake for 18 hours creates impairment equivalent to a blood alcohol content of 0.05%, and 24 hours without sleep pushes it past the legal limit. An estimated 6,400 people die each year in crashes involving a drowsy driver, and 60% of adult drivers admit to driving while drowsy in the past year. The resolution encourages Americans to improve their sleep habits and recognize the warning signs.
