Few things are as difficult as tired eyelids. Actually they are. Our eyelids when we are tired behind the wheel. We also rarely find ourselves in more dangerous situations than the one described. How can we prevent an accident in the making? Some say to open the window, as the cold air is supposed to keep us awake, others say to turn up the radio. But sometimes none of that helps. But maybe you should try the Steer bracelet.
Steer you can through the heartbeat and skin conductivity detects your sleepiness level.
When you are approaching the 'critical point', it reminds you and wakes you up. You prevent it
'microsleep', these are precisely those few seconds in which we make sure that they are absolutely OK if we indulge them. But they can be fatal. V
the device has 16 sensors, which all the time
measure the heart rate and skin conductance. The same sensors are also found in lie detectors. When the device is connected, the sensors measure the pulse for one minute, and when
falls by 10 beats per minute, Steer signals this to the driver by vibrating and flashing the yellow light. Then every 2 seconds the device takes measurements, so it is practically impossible to fall into a 'microsleep'. But if your pulse and skin conductance
they fall by an additional 3 units, you will feel a mild electrical impulse that will definitely wake you up. Norepinephrine, serotonin and cortisol will spike, and the 'sleep hormone' melatonin will drop.
The price for the Steer bracelet is 199 euros.
In any case, take care of safety. If sleep overcomes you, drive to safety and sleep for a while. Wherever you go, it will be waiting.
