I've heard that 24 hours without sleep is like drinking a few beers as far as impairment. I definitely believe it. Sad to say, I experience it all the time- I'm 3 hours from the end of a 36 hour shift right now as a paramedic. Let's just say it's usually better to call 911 in the morning, if given the option.

Maybe that's why I am as smart as a box of oranges, I sleep like crap.
