Doze Alert Will Keep You Awake While Driving
Carl E. Krupp

Have you ever just nodded off while driving.., suddenly jerking your head as you realize you were asleep? Often, you were sleeping only a fraction of a second, but some unlucky folks sleep for three to six seconds and run right off the road.

At seventy miles per hour, running off the road can eliminate all the advantage of keeping yourself in good physical shape, taking vitamins and having a good food storage program! We found a little gadget that can help called Doze-Alert, it sits on your ear like an old-fashioned large hearing aid.

When your head starts to slump, usually just before you doze, a buzzer sounds, waking you up If it happens more than a couple of times in an afternoon or evening, then you know you should either stop the car and go to sleep or get some coffee! ANNOYING BUT NEEDED In practice, you need to learn to keep your head straight, but he buzz in your ear will quickly train you.

You must persevere long enough to get over the training and start to get the benefits.

One of the benefits that have found is that I can drive longer each day because I am confident that I am not going to fall asleep and run off the road.
