As an entire population we're losing sleep. Fatigue has become a dangerous side-effect of 24/7 living and nowhere is the danger more acute than in the transportation industry - a frightening number of airline pilots as well as train, truck and car drivers admit to falling asleep on the job. But it's almost impossible to know how many fatal accidents are caused by fatigue. Reporter, Ian Townsend.
