In general, drowsiness occurs more frequently...
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
**Drowsiness** is a state in which one feels **tired, heavy in the body, and sleepy**. This state can affect the ability to drive safely, as it causes **slower reactions**, **difficulty making decisions**, and, in extreme cases, **falling asleep for a few seconds without realizing it**.
Sleep tends to occur more frequently at two times of the day:
- **During the early morning**: This is a critical time because the body is naturally predisposed to sleep. Driving at these hours can increase the risk of drowsiness.
- **In the early afternoon**: After eating, the body experiences a natural drop in energy, which can lead to feeling sleepy.
Therefore, it is important to be aware of these times of the day and take additional precautions if you are going to drive, such as ensuring you are well-rested and avoiding driving if you feel drowsy.
