Abstract
A method for recognizing microsleep on the part of a driver of a vehicle. The method includes at least a step of reading in an eye closure information item regarding an eye parameter of the driver, the eye closure information item representing a first eyelid position for a maximum eye opening level, and/or a second eyelid position for a minimum eye opening level, for the driver; a step of classifying a current eyelid position of an eyelid of the driver using the eye closure information item, in order to obtain an eye opening information item that represents an open state of the eyes or a closed state of the eyes; and a step of ascertaining a sleep recognition value that represents an indication of an occurrence of microsleep.
