National Sleep Foundation to Host Forum on Drowsy Driving Prevention

The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) is hosting its annual Drowsy Driving Forum at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on October 29, 2026. The event gathers health professionals and policy advocates to address the risks associated with sleep-deprived operation of motor vehicles.

Following the forum, the organization will observe Drowsy Driving Prevention Week from November 1 through November 7. This public awareness campaign aims to emphasize the connection between sleep health and road safety, as fatigue continues to be a documented factor in traffic collisions.

The initiative serves to highlight ongoing public health concerns regarding driver alertness. The forum seeks to outline updated strategies for mitigation and public policy, building on nearly twenty years of the organization's advocacy efforts in the sleep health sector.
