Explanation
Changing sleep hours frequently or waking up several times while sleeping are situations that **favor the onset of drowsiness at the wheel**.
- **Sleeping fewer hours than usual** or **changing the hours you usually sleep** are factors that can cause drowsiness. This is because the body does not adapt well to the lack of a regular sleep pattern, leading to tiredness and sleepiness during the day.
- **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 decreases concentration and attention on the road.
