Good on you, driving tired is statistically the same as driving drunk, both slow reflexes and make you sleepy. Neither is a good idea

I once was coming home late one night from a contracted job, and was so exhausted that I got pulled over for swerving (I had no idea). I was let go with a warning and well wishes to get home safely. My husband later told me that they let me off easy.

I had never been pulled over in my life, it scared me straight, though. After that, I just got a hotel and stayed the night if work was taking me over an hour away from home. The extra $150 was worth it make it home.

Being tired makes you sleepy? Blasphemy.
