Drowsy driving is the dangerous combination of driving and sleepiness or fatigue.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety’s report, Acute Sleep Deprivation and Risk of Motor Vehicle Crash Involvement, says drivers missing 2-3 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period more than quadrupled their risk of a crash compared to drivers getting the recommended seven hours of sleep.

The longest recorded time without sleep is approximately 264 hours, or just over 11 consecutive days.

After only three or four nights without sleep, you can start to hallucinate.

The results showed that compared to drivers getting seven to nine hours of sleep a night, those who reported getting six hours of sleep had 1.3 times the odds of causing a crash. Those who reported getting five hours had 1.9 times the odds, and those getting four hours had 2.9 times the odds.
