sleep deprivation prevalence among a sample of truck drivers: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430925/
Hours of service violations: https://www.ccjdigital.com/business/article/14937499/analysis-from-eroad-shows-driver-hos-violations-increasing
30 minute break, 11 hour and 14 hour violations are the most common and thats what is caught
Thanks for the sources; however, the National Library of Medicine is using data from 1993 and the other doesn't specify by how much the violations rates are increasing or what the rates even are and the link to the underlying data appears to be dead.
edit: I had time to look into this further and it appears that it was very common to fudge the paper logbook, but as of 2017 they're required to use electronic logbook devices (ELD's), so that is no longer possible. Yes, sleep deprivation due to violating the hours of service regulations was definitely a thing in the past, but I can't find any data that indicates that it still is.
