  That’s easier said than done. You can’t judge your own behavior when impaired because you are impaired. By the time you are aware you are that tired, you’ve already been impaired for a long time.

    You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired, I have done that plenty of times and decided that I needed a break when driving plenty of times.

    The issue is that you are a worse judge of your own behavior when impaired, so you need to take that into account

      By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.

    I apparently have the uncanny ability of being able to sense when I am drowsy. Call up the X-Men

  For sure, but when you are driving cross-country you sometimes do not have a choice because there is nowhere to stop.

    Unless there’s a safety concern, there’s always the side of the road. I drive 2 lane backwoods roads periodically, and it’s not uncommon to see a car pulled a bit off the road with no visible driver’s seat.
