Correct answer
reaction time increases.
After taking sleeping or hypnotic medication, reaction time normally increases. These medicines are used to treat sleep disorders and may have sedative effects that affect the driver's ability to react. An increased reaction time means that the driver will take longer to respond to dangerous situations on the road, increasing the risk of accidents. In addition, these medicines may also cause periods of drowsiness and blurred vision, further reducing the ability to drive safely.
