The NHTSA reports that 100,000 police-reported car accidents are due to driver fatigue every year. This amounts to 1,550 fatalities, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses. If those numbers don’t make you wide-eyed, I don’t know what will.
Never fear. The Stopsleep alert device is here to keep you safe from the danger you dread.
Stopsleep is an alarm gadget you wear around your finger. Think of it as a real engagement ring. It keeps you engaged in the car in spite of your desire to sleep around your driving responsibility. The alarm beeps and vibrates to ensure you don’t miss a moment of your commute.
It is your accountability alarm clock that that can sound up to five minutes before you start getting drowsy.
