Almost everyone knows what it feels like when they're too tired to drive. The feeling of being unable to keep your eyes open and concentrate on the road can be scary, yet many Americans risk drowsy driving every day. Our busy lifestyles have contributed in part to the thousands of fatigue-related accidents in the U.S. each year.

As the "baby boom" generation heads toward retirement and life expectancies continue to lengthen, there is a growing population of older Americans, but little consensus over how best to help them enjoy their golden years.
