Back years and years ago, long before the internet, I was routinely up for 3 days straight.

One night I was driving along in a construction zone that had open areas, where the pavement had been removed for replacement.

After having been in a heavy rain storm that had passed a half hour before, I hallucinated that I was driving into one of these holes, complete with non-existent rain water flowing into the hole!

I jerked the wheel and caught a barrier with the trailer I had on, which brought me back to reality.



I caught a rest area a few miles up the road, and promptly passed out for ( I figured out later) over 24 hours.

I have hardly ever driven, or been on the road, much more than a day without at least a few hours sleep ever since.



Thing is, I can remember the hallucination of driving into a water filled lane tear out as vividly now, as when it originally happened.

Back then, I also had "road hypnosis" or "missing time" events while driving, which is eerie schit.



Even with having driven all that time before, I was never able to do more than 1400 miles in 24 hours (Average of 59mph), construction or traffic always hung me up.

I have had the "missing" time while driving and it's a sketchy feeling. I do not like arriving with that feeling! Happened a lot when I was driving 60 miles home every night
 
I will say the hallucinating and missed time feeling is very sketchy stuff. One time after driving all day long and being very tired, I was going down the road and swear I saw a guy shoveling his driveway. It's was August and about 3am Hahah.

I can do about 3200-3500 in 5 days... "Legally"
 
On a good week I average 900-1100 miles in 24hrs but generally losing our unloading messes with that.
