Correct answer
No, because sleepiness occurs more easily.
Driving at night is not advisable to avoid tiredness, since sleepiness can occur more easily during these hours. Several factors contribute to night driving being more prone to drowsiness:Time of day: The hours most conducive to sleepiness are the early hours of the morning and the early afternoon. Monotonous traffic situations: Driving at night on a motorway or dual carriageway with no traffic can be especially monotonous, which encourages drowsiness. Quality of sleep: Even if you have slept the necessary number of hours, the quality of sleep can be affected during the night, especially if sleep is constantly interrupted or the deepest stages of sleep are not reached. Consumption of sedative substances: Consuming alcohol and certain medications can encourage sleepiness, which represents an additional risk when driving at night.
