The National Sleep Foundation holds Drowsy Driving Prevention Week (DDPW) each year, the week following the end of Daylight Savings Time (DST). This year, DDPW takes place November 7-14.
The goal of the annual campaign is to reduce the number of drivers who drive while tired. Drowsy driving is responsible for more than 6,400 U.S. deaths annually.
The NSF encourages everyone to prioritize sleep and drive when alert and refreshed.
This NSF article explains how the clock change is linked to road safety.
