British scientists from the sleep center at the University of Surrey are developing a unique test for the detection of sleep deprivation drivers. The test will be conducted on the "markers" that are present in human blood.
Chronic lack of sleep and fatigue very dangerous for the driver. This equates to a state of alcoholic intoxication, which can lead to serious consequences.
Scientists say that in human blood have genes that indicate chronic and acute lack of sleep. The study was conducted using a machine learning algorithm, and using it was found such a useful gene.
The experiment involved a group of young people who sleep during the week over 8 hours and less than 6 hours. Their condition is checked for different number of biomarkers - between 9 and 74.
After the experiment revealed that acute not getting enough sleep It can be determined with an accuracy of 92%, and chronic only to 52%. Scientists say that the experiment will be brought to an end, but this would require the blood of the same person who will visit different countries.
The study should help in the inspection and testing of acute and chronic lack of sleep from drivers. In the future, it should help in reducing the percentage of accidents on the roads.
