[QUOTE="Vivictus, post: 1019805, member: 8364"] Yeah, due to a friend falling asleep at the wheel once we rolled his car into a ditch and flipped it twice, and one person was thrown into barb wire. Everyone survived, with no seat belts, at about 70 mph. The car was actually "thrown" over since the dirt packed against the wheels down this ditch hard enough it tossed us. The other two had some injuries, but I came out with just a small bump on my leg luckily. Also, I have trouble driving. I always feel light headed while driving and have trouble concentrating on the road. I've gone to the doctor about it but he can't tell me anything. I've gotten glasses just in case my "very slight" nearsightedness had something to do with it, and that hasn't helped. There's been a few times also where I just seemed to get VERY dizzy for a moment, like I just woke up suddenly while driving as well. I normally don't get enough sleep in a day. So, couple questions for you then since you're the expert... One: This light headedness I feel constantly while driving. You think this would be related to not getting much sleep? I also drink more than I probably should in case that helps, but I NEVER drive if I've even had a single beer mind you. Two: If you get say only 4-6 hours of sleep a night, does this cumalatively add up in some way over many nights with not enough sleep? As it is today I've slept maybe 5-6 hours a night for about 4 nights now. Anyway, good info to know. I won't be going to the con. I only go to DunDraCon here in Northern Cali. Can't afford flying to gaming conventions. :P Thanks. [/QUOTE]
