So, this means that for the last ten years I've been legally drunk
Sleeping only four hours a night for five nights, on average, or five hours a night for a week can impair you as much as being awake for 24 hours - or being legally drunk, according to Dr. Charles Czeisler, a well-known sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School.

one of the truest life lessons i have learnt is that it's not the drink or the drugs or the emotions which fuck you up, it's the lack of sleep.

Well, actually it's the combination. The full piece goes:

Don't underestimate the effect of lack of sleep on your driving skills. Sleeping only four hours a night for five nights, on average, or five hours a night for a week can impair you as much as being awake for 24 hours - or being legally drunk, according to Dr. Charles Czeisler, a well-known sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School. Having one beer in that sleepy condition has the effect of a six pack, he told the Wall Street Journal. Don't drive if you're sleep-deprived. If you have to drive, pull off the road if you can't keep your head up or you are drifting from your lane, blinking or yawning a lot, or missing exits and traffic signs.

You know, I sleep five hours a night, and I've been drunk, and I have to say being drunk is way more fun.
