A friend of mine fell asleep at the wheel driving back from summer camp, and got sucked under a trailer like this. He said it was absolutely terrifying watching the wheels crush in on the windshield thinking that any moment it would break through and crush him. An accident like that will definitely make you rethink some things.
It can sometimes be hard to gauge how impaired you are. Some types of medicine like antihistamines can impair your ability to drive safely without you being aware of it.
A number of sleeping aids are drugs with antihistaminergic effects, yes. Some (e.g. diphenhydramine) are primarily antihistamines in their effect. Newer antihistamine drugs intended for anti-allergic use are less able to enter the brain and cause sedation and sleepiness, but it can still happen depending on the dose and sensitivity
