Re: Wanted - 60 minute timer

Wikipedia definition does not indicate that driving should be given up altogether and since it affects 1 in 2000 people (undiagnosed) it would not be practical to ban them.It suggests control:-

"Take several short daily naps (10-15 minutes) to combat excessive sleepiness and sleep attacks.
Develop a routine sleep schedule – try to go to sleep and awaken at the same time every day.
Alert your employers, coworkers and friends in the hope that others will accommodate your condition and help when needed.
Do not drive or operate dangerous equipment if you are sleepy. Take a nap before driving if possible. Consider taking a break for a nap during a long driving trip.
Join a support group.
Break up larger tasks into small pieces and focusing on one small thing at a time."

That is why I need the timer
