Hi,

Would you please review the following passage?

"Night- shift workers are at the risk of traffic accidents when driving back home (1). Studies show that %10-%13 of traffic accidents are due to sleepiness during the day (2). One of the most common causes of short sleep while driving is the lack of sleep due to job issues (3). Sleepiness- related accidents lead to 43-56 billion dollars economic impact a year in the USA (4). Sleepiness usually occurs in the night shift and reaches to its maximum level at the end of the working shift. Disorders of consciousness and performance are associated with an increase in sleepiness and can endanger the health and safety of workers. In fact, shift workers are infected by sleep- wake disorder and are exposed to involuntary sleep at work or while driving back home after the night-shift (5). Simulated driving tests have shown that sleep deprivation directly affects driving performance (6). Impairment of psychomotor skills related to driving due to sleepiness is equal to the consumption of alcohol to legal limit or above (7). In an interview with 45 nurses in the intensive care unit, %95 reported at least one traffic accident or near accident, while driving back home after the night shift during the past year (8). In a study on 1554 emergency medicine residents, in response to the question if they had a traffic accident in their way back home after work, 76 of them (%8) reported that they had involved in 96 traffic accidents on their way home after the working shift, and 553 (%58) reported that they had involved in 1446 near accident."

Thanks!
