目标：青年时期驾驶是车祸风险增加的时期。许多因素（例如驾驶经验、攻击性）都会导致风险增加，但与白天嗜睡和睡眠健康相关的因素也可能有所影响。目前的研究调查了有两种危险的瞌睡驾驶行为的年轻人的瞌睡经历、睡眠时间和稳定性、睡眠受损的情绪调节和睡眠认知受损之间的关系：瞌睡时继续驾驶和经历过与睡眠相关的千钧一发。方法：该研究在昆士兰科技大学的网络环境中进行了宣传，137 名 18 至 25 岁的年轻人（58.39% 女性）完成了一份匿名在线调查问卷，评估与日间嗜睡、睡眠时间和稳定性、睡眠受损情绪调节和睡眠认知受损相关的方面。结果：总共有 15.38% 的参与者表示他们曾经历过与睡眠相关的千钧一发。主要结果是年龄和睡眠受损的情绪调节变量都与结果变量相关。研究变量解释了困倦时继续驾驶的 18.94% 的方差，而相同的变量解释了与睡眠相关的千钧一发的方差（Nagelkerke 的 R-2 统计）的 42.69%。较短的睡眠时间和较高水平的睡眠认知障碍与睡眠相关的千钧一发显着相关。结论：两种危险驾驶行为与不同的变量相关，表明不同的潜在因素。睡眠受损的情绪调节和/或睡眠认知受损可用于向驾驶员发出信号，表明他们因困倦而受损。
Objective: Driving during young adulthood is a time of increased crash risk. Many factors (e.g., driving experience, aggression) contribute to the increased risk, but factors associated with daytime sleepiness and sleep health may also contribute. The current study examined the relationships between experiences of sleepiness, sleep timing and stability, sleep-impaired emotional regulation, and sleep-impaired cognition among younger persons engaging in 2 risky sleepy driving behaviors: Continuing to drive while sleepy and having experienced a sleep-related close call. Method: The study was advertised in the Queensland University of Technology's online environment and 137 young adults (58.39% women) aged 18 to 25 years completed an anonymous online questionnaire assessing aspects related to daytime sleepiness, sleep timing and stability, sleep-impaired emotional regulation, and sleep-impaired cognition. Results: In total, 15.38% of the participants reported that they had experienced a sleep-related close call. The main outcomes were that both age and the sleep-impaired emotional regulation variable were associated with the outcome variables. The study variables accounted for 18.94% of the variance in continuing to drive while sleepy, and the same variables accounted for 42.69% of the variance (Nagelkerke's R-2 statistic) in having had a sleep-related close call. Shorter sleep durations and greater levels of sleep-impaired cognition were significantly associated with having a sleep-related close call. Conclusion: Different variables were associated with the 2 risky driving behaviors, suggesting different underlying factors. Sleep-impaired emotional regulation and/or sleep-impaired cognition could be used to signal drivers that they are impaired by sleepiness.
