Sleep & why 14 hr.log doesn't work for all drivers.

Yes...Churchill was a great advocate of the power nap. I have one every afternoon. Great minds think alike.
Thats why the FMCSA will never be on the same page.
They have an inferior IQ.

 

Hey Chinatown,
just as a footnote I thought I'd give you some trivia about the longest time ever a human has managed to stay awake.
i used to buy the old Guinness Book of Records way back but this one always stood out.
As I recall it was a guy from Finland and he managed to stay afloat, with eyes wide open for a touch over 16.......yes 16 DAYS !!! Needless to say, I'd wager he wasn't a trucker but goes to show, the capabilities of human endurance.
Now go back to sleep!!

 

How, my best crack & meth fueled days could only go about 4 days..

 

There was a story about a guy in China that has never slept in 40 years (possibly ever)

Turns out he's got some sort of genetic defect/mutation and he doesn't need or produce some chemical that the body generates during sleep.

edit:

and apparently there was a case of an American in the 19th century too.

 

Twenty years ago I meet all the big wigs at federal motors carrier at an all day driver imput discussion group with hand picked drivers ( I knew some one with political pull at the time),,they all go to a driving school when the go to work at FMCSA,,all are lazy worthess federal government employees that think that if they are over worked working 8 hrs/day (most less) and they need their beauty sleep then hard working truck drivers need more rest.
They all tell the same line of BS,,they have CDLs and they know it all..
