    I can fully understand how it would seem that way. But I ensure that if I remotely feel even a little tired I stop immediately and sleep. I was also in emergency services for over 25 years (driving the heavy engines and ladder trucks most of that time) running very high call volumes on 48 to 96 hr shifts. So for over 30 years my body has learned to stay very alert on short and mixed sleep cycles. And when I say even if I get a little drowsy, I'm talking if my eyes even start itching, I am not able to be constantly scanning all my escape zones, etc I don't push it. I find the next off ramp and to sleep I go. I also don't have problems a lot of people do with sleep... Once I lay down I hit a deep sleep within 15 min, no matter who's around or noise, etc. Been doing that for 30 years.

    Its a unique thing I've seen common with first responders, law enforcement and military.

    Granted, I also don't have much of what others would call a life .... My hobbies, etc and what I do is work. I enjoy accomplishing the task at hand, and keep going until it's done. And the reward for me is my family's lifestyle and happiness. And when I'm home with them they are the focus 100% while there.
