This is the first study to examine the six-year driving experience of Saudi women since they were granted the legal right to drive. No significant differences were found in sleep, fatigue, stress, or overall well-being between drivers and passengers. However, longer commutes (over 30 min) were associated with increased anxiety, sleep disturbances, depression, and fatigue. These are preliminary findings, and further research is needed to explore the factors influencing the mental and physical health of Saudi women
