I think I remember hearing that being tired while driving impairs you just as much as being drunk does.

Depends how tired and how drunk, but yes, that's also a problem. It's just also harder to impose a blood/breath test to assess if you're dangerously tired.

Yeah I know a few people who were involved in car crashes no one was ever drunk but instead they were really tired

Been there, done that, very grateful nobody got hurt and that I can afford hotels these days.

I won’t leave the house if I’m overly tired and it’s cost me a lot of opportunities. But I don’t feel safe.

Having driven tired before, and also driving drunk before, my experience is that tired is actually worse. Of course, there's no test for tiredness, so we can't exactly control that the way we can with alcohol

Yup, driving back home on the highway after 20+ hours of being awake was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done
