SLEEP and fatigue research organisation Awake has launched a new website at www.awakeltf.info that aims to raise awareness of the impact of sleep deprivation and drugs on individuals in the workplace and on the road. It also offers solutions to combat fatigue-related incidents.

The principles behind Awake's key messages are based on scientific research with partners such as the Loughborough Sleep Research Centre (LSRC).

Awake managing director Dr Paul Jackson said: 'Most people are not aware of the hazardous effect our 24/7 lifestyles have on our ability to remain alert both at work and on the road. The website will become an increasingly important tool to help us deliver this message.'
