Here's a flash 'game' that in 5 minutes assesses your wakefulness for driving....
For me, I ended with an average reaction time of 0.30 seconds, which according to the results is just with in the 'safe' range.
Though I also had 1 accident and 1 false start....
It was long and boring enough that I could feel the eyes wanting to wander, as well as the threat that I might have a microsleep.
And, a microsleep at 120km/hr is no fun....especially if you were aiming for a rest stop and the exit is sharp and turns to gravel.
15+ years later, and I still have nightmares of that theme.... though things have lessened with Xyrem (or perhaps there's less recall, or they're less vivid, or less lucid....) Though the old dreams of finishing or solving something that I've been working on (often in an impossible way) has increased....
