ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an apparatus for preventing a driver from falling asleep. The apparatus comprises a gravity actuated sensor and a vibrator, which are placed within a housing. The apparatus is placed on the drivers head. It can be attached to a hat which is worn by the driver. The gravity activated sensor senses when it is in a predetermined range of deviation from the horizontal, and sends a detect signal which activates a vibrator which irritates the driver, and prevents him from falling asleep.
