Spit test for sleepy drivers? study seeks road safety clues

NCT ID NCT07089342

Summary

This study aimed to find biological markers in saliva that could indicate when a driver is too tired or sleepy to drive safely. Researchers collected saliva samples and survey data from over 500 drivers stopped during routine police checks in Belgium. The goal was to see if specific natural chemicals in saliva correlate with observed sleepiness, which could one day lead to better tools for preventing drowsy driving accidents.
