    I imagine having zero consistent sleep schedule will increase the risk of accidents

      As someone who’s done shift work the overwhelming majority of their career, fatigue is worse than being drunk.

      30hr sleep debt has you feeling horrible, struggling to focus, 40hr sleep debt has you acting drunk, feeling worse and bordering on dozing off.

      I had a week long caffeine withdrawal once due to not realizing how hard I was leaning on caffeine to get through each day. Week off came around, stopped all the coffees and spent most of my week of sweating bullets, shaking and in pain. Never again.
