"Lack of sleep interestingly can be similar to alcohol intoxication. CDC reports that not sleeping for 17 hours is akin to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05% which is the drunk driving level in some countries. Having no sleep for 24 hours is comparable to a BAC of 0.10% which is above the US drunk driving level of 0.8%.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, more than one-third of adults do not attain the recommended amount of sleep, which is seven to nine hours per night. These individuals stated that they experienced sleepiness during the day, and their mood, mental acuity, and productivity were impacted negatively. CDC also reports that over 40% of adults reported unintentionally falling asleep during the day at least once a month, with an estimated 50 to 70 million Americans having a sleep disorder."
