The Loughborough Sleep Research Centre recommends:

If you feel tired when you're driving you should:

• Find a safe parking place at the earliest opportunity.
• Drink one or two cans of a functional energy or caffeine drink.
• If possible (eg. at your next break) also take a short nap or doze for no longer than 15 minutes - this also gives the drink time to take effect.

You should not resume driving if you're still sleepy.

Winding down the windows, turning up the radio and exercising have little effect in overcoming sleepiness.

The Loughborough Sleep Research Centre has found that:

• One can of functional energy drink - in this research Red Bull was used* - is effective in reducing moderate levels of sleepiness (eg. the afternoon dip).
• Two cans will almost eliminate this level of sleepiness and sleep related driving impairments for about 90 minutes after the drink takes effect.
• Nevertheless, drivers should get adequate sleep and not see functional energy drinks as a substitute for sleep.

The problem can affect all ages, therefore we all need to take care.

Please note that Red Bull Stimulation is not suitable for diabetics or persons senstive to caffeine. Red Bull Sugarfree is suitable for diabetics.
