SLEEP DEPRIVED != not sleeping 8 hours a night.
Sleep deprivation is dangerous. But it's also obvious. You don't need to read a book to know that.

Well , listen, you're wrong - that's why you should read the book. Say you sleep 7 hours a night instead of 8. Brain keeps track of the sleep you take. If you miss some, it adds it to your sleep debt. Then after a week you got full 8 hours extra sleep debt and even if you sleep 8 hours the night before you drive, you'll feel drowsy very soon after you wake up.
Researches have been conducted which proved that the condition after a lack of sleep 1 hour each night during a week would be equal to the condition when you haven't slept through the night.
Also, if you're looking for some data, the problem is that many fatal accidents' causes are reported as unknown. Given the results of the simulation, a majority of those accidents may be related to sleep deprivation.
