If,
after having been awake for a long time, you feel strange, you probably
shouldn’t drive according to WebMD. Being awake for 18 hours is equal
to a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%, qualifying you as legally
drunk and leaving you at equal risk of causing a car crash.

chronically sleep-deprived that they don't have any idea what normal
functioning and rest patterns feel like."

sleep-deprivation-related accidents and illnesses.
