1. A sleeping driver detector and alarm system comprising:

  • a pair of contacts for measuring skin resistance of a driver;

    said contacts being, communicatively coupled to a microcontroller, said microcontroller being for determining a baseline skin resistance between the pair of contacts while the driver is awake;

    an alarm operably coupled to the microcontroller;

    wherein the microcontroller activates the alarm when a current measurement of the driver'"'"'s skin resistance varies from the baseline skin resistance by more than a pre-determined amount; and

    wherein the pair of contacts are integrally coupled to a steering wheel of a vehicle.
