Correct answer
Your abilities are impaired and you should stop somewhere safe to rest.
Sleepiness reduces attention and lengthens reaction time. Stop somewhere safe and rest; sleeping for around 20 or 30 minutes may help, but do not resume driving if still sleepy. Sufficient sleep before travelling helps prevent it. Consult a healthcare professional if sleep problems persist; stimulants do not replace rest.
