Tired People and Drunk People

If a person hasn't slept enough he'll be just as incapacitated as a very drunk person. After 17 hours without sleep, a person's performance can be compared with one with a blood alcohol level of 0.05% (0.08% is considered drunk). At this point, you would have a reaction speed that is at least 50% slower and your accuracy would be even worse than the equivalent drunk person.

Last week was a very intense week and sleep was one thing didn't exactly have a high priority. Towards the end of the week, although most of us appeared quite awake and normal, some behaved quite wierdly. One friend pretty much forgot how to calculate and another started dipping his bread in a huge pile of salt. There were also quite a few pointless discussions/arguments, minor memory loss and day dreamers.
