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.
Congressional Summary
This resolution (1) supports the designation of Drowsy Driving Prevention Week to raise awareness about the dangers of drowsy driving, and (2) encourages people across the United States to take preventable steps against drowsy driving.
