Sleep is something we need but truckers feel they don't have time to get what they need. Personally I get six hours sleep a night no matter what is on the back of my truck.

Here is why I get my sleep come hell or high water.

Sleep restores us. Those who sleep fewer than six hours a night don't live as long as those who sleep seven hours or more.

Chronic lack of sleep stresses the heart and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and deaths.

Neurological and behavioural effects of long-term sleep loss are well
documented, such as lower concentration and poor mood. Researchers are
also uncovering a physiological toll that may increase susceptibility
to depression, obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The association between sleep deprivation and obesity appears to be strongest in young and middle-age adults.

My experience has been that by the time I take multiple little sleep breaks, by the time I show up at the customer I could have slept a full six hours and arrived at the same time.

So do your life a favor and create an eat, sleep and work pattern and let the industry work around you.
