A doze detection method, which accurately detects a blink burst and improves speed and accuracy of doze detection, includes measuring a state where the eye is substantially open as an open eye time and another state as a closed eye time, defining a time shorter than an average blink interval of a healthy adult in an alert state as a first threshold time; defining a time longer than an average closed eye time of a healthy adult in an alert state as a second threshold time; and defining blinks as a blink burst when detecting an eye opening equal to or shorter than the first threshold time. A doze state is determined when the closed eye time of a blink among the blinks during the blink burst reaches at least the second threshold time, the blink occurring after an open eye time equal to at most the first threshold time.
