Sleep-deprived driving (commonly known as tired driving, drowsy driving, or fatigued driving) is the operation of a motor vehicle while being cognitively impaired by a lack of sleep.
Sleep deprivation is a major cause of motor vehicle accidents, and it can impair the human brain as much as alcohol can. Risks include falling asleep at the wheel and having a slower reaction time. Being fatigued while driving is also known as sleep drunkenness, and if you get drowsy while driving, it is best to find an alternative to get you and your vehicle home. Hire a designated driver.
