It is. Used to work retail and worked clopens and long shifts and had a couple times when I kind of came to in traffic and drove when I absolutely shouldn’t have many, many, many times.
I have a stable schedule now, but holy shit a ton of people out there are driving like zombies and you almost can’t blame them. You gotta work if you don’t wanna be homeless and a lot of people are working multiple jobs or are picking up extra shifts or working weird hours if you want to eat and sleep indoors and have health insurance. The US is a fucked country.
Unfortunately not everybody has that choice, just like not everybody can afford to just stay home when they’re sick. You’d be shocked by how many people that handle your food are ill and just don’t have Paid Time Off and can’t afford to lose a day’s worth of wages.
Not to defend driving sleep deprived, but I’ve been there many times. It’s a shit reality that a ton of people live in.
It absolutely, demonstrably is. I’ve gone home after working nights as a nurse and it’s scary that people drive in that state, and are also responsible for others’ lives.
These comments are starting to make me think that driving tired is as bad or worse than drunk driving.

It is. Do not drive unless you’re focused.

Yeah, I know…it’s just such a shitty thing, being forced to drive when you’re not even in your senses.

The sleep episode on Joe Rogan was great. Confirmed sleeping while tired is just as bad
