I dont function well...

[Boggert]

With out sleep.

SWMBO and I have Just driven 893 miles over night. left Home at 1300hrs and arrived at the in-laws house in Czech at 0700hrs... real good run the road from Germany to Czech is spanking new duel carriage way so it made life so much easier.

But I think I'm possibly narcoleptic I just keep falling asleep. I helped changed the wheels on the tractor and just sat down a moment and went to sleep, woke up with everyone laughing.

Crikey I'm shattered, done 32 hours with just the odd 15 minute nap here and there... I starting to feel a bit old! There was a time when I could function on just an hour or two now I need my 8 hours or I'm sleepy head all day.

That was a risky thing to do, not meaning to be rude, but I have lost friends that tried to drive for too long over night.  It's really not worth the risk, as a traffic cop once told me "better to arrive late than not at all!"

lack off sleep has the same effect as alcohol in your system on your reactions and co-ordination.

Well to be fair we share the driving, I drive while she sleeps and she drives while I sleep. However this time I could only get a few naps, while she slept like a log.

I was fine during the drive, just started to feel rough when I got here.

I think in the future i will do a day drive, at least I won't be so shattered when I get here. Luckily we have a day drive back so all shall hopefully it won't be so exhausting.
