I drove my old Class C from Destin Beach, FL, to Austin, TX., in fifteen hours, almost straight. When I got to the NW side of Houston, acute fatigue hit me like a bullet. I knew I would fall asleep at the wheel in the next five minutes. At that point I didn't care if the cops came a-knocking. I pulled over, on I-10, and jumped onto the couch. After fifteen minutes of solid sleep, I made the next 2.5 hours to Austin, no problem. I have conceded to my advancing years, my long-haul runs. I now keep my driving to six hours, max. At 50 mph, average, I'm OK for 300 miles a leg.
