Symptom #3: Accident Prone
Many of us have jobs that involve physical skills. Even something as common as driving to work can be more technical than we imagine and a moment’s lapse in concentration could lead to disaster. A lack of sleep can lead to such lapses and sleeplessness is a common cause of serious accidents.
The extent of problems and accidents due to a lack of sleep have caused governments around the world to place legal and safety restrictions on how businesses operate.

If you are feeling too tired to work, you should consider stopping, especially if you are operating heavy machinery.
