Reminder to adopt healthy sleeping habits


Screen handphone showing sleep reminders / Airplane mode to control and give emotion support for students. Story on Apps to help the kid to stay fresh and positive during exam. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

I STILL remember the close call my family had during a trip back to our hometown in Kedah when I was a child. At one point, my father who was driving briefly dozed off at the wheel but woke up just in time to avoid crashing into another vehicle.

Back then, I had no idea what had caused my father’s temporary lapse in attention, but I found out later that it was due to microsleep.
