Description
Is an extremely serious and surprisingly dangerous thing. If you're feeling any symptoms please tell someone because in this hazardous world we live in, being just a little dizzy can cost you a lot.I'm saying this because it nearly cost me everything recently. If you don't mind thinking of it as being as dangerous as driving drunk, then do so. This issue isn't talked about nearly as much as it should be and honestly I feel blessed that I was lucky enough to still be here able to be giving out a warning. Please stay safe out there.

I've meant to reply to this for awhile, but for some reason never got to.
As someone who has been both drunk and sleep deprived on separate occasions, I can say with certainty that they are definitely not the same thing. I've never drunk and drove before (wouldn't touch the driver's seat with a 10ft pole even after one small drink), however, there was one point in time where I did drive while sleep deprived, and let me tell you:
The biggest difference between driving drunk and driving sleep deprived is that you don't hallucinate while you're drunk.
I swear to god the only thing that was keeping me alert enough for me to get me to my destination safely were the occasions where I would mistaken my hanging dragon/wizard ornament for an incoming bicyclist and it'd jolt my ass awake every time it happened.
So...yeah. Please be safe y'all and don't ever drive impaired in any way if you can help it.
And Frost? Really glad you came out of your situation alive too.

Ah that's very true! I meant more like to take it just as seriously but the wording's been changed a bit so hopefully it works better!
Thank you :"D me too

Ahhh, I didn't mean it like that X'D I meant it as a means of agreeing with you on the issue while also giving more information on it because I thought you were saying it in a way that implied that that sleep deprivation was a serious issue but not quite like driving drunk, so, sorry for the confusion there X'D

Ah well still you did have a point! Actually it was the opposite though, I expect most people not to take driving tired as seriously (after all, it's not technically illegal) which is why I tried to make the comparison!
You're right though, it's still different! No worries!

Yeahh for the most part? Physically yes, emotionally fairly rattled which is why I wanted to post this to feel like there was some kind of takeaway at least. Might as well use it as a warning :' D

I really hope you are doing okay. Driving while being tired (or other wise not being "fully there" is very dangerous. I have often heard about it, as I have a family member who is a proffesional driver and repeatedly talked about that problem and what it can cause.

And yeah, I definitely believe it's a crisis

I'm alright, not super confident about driving but not hurt.
I hope so too, and thank you!

I hope whatever happened while you were driving isn't too serious. Anyway, it was a good idea to share this as a warning for others.

Are you doing okay? You say "recently" and I don't know how recently that is and I don't want to ask what happened if you don't want to share, but I wanted to ask.

Kind of? I'll be trying to get as much sleep as possible this next week at least and hope for the best. Therapy will come after my work schedule changes next week
