Here in NSW we have the "Stop Revive Survive" campaign and Driver Reviver: https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/geared/your_driving_skills/staying_safe/driver_reviver.html https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/geared/your_driving_skills/stayin... It is drilled into us that we should stop every 2 hours regardless of how we feel. You cannot trust yourself to judge as by definition your judgment is impaired when tired, it's best to just stop and grab a free tea/coffee if you find one of their setups or even just pull over to rest your eyes or walk around your car for a couple of minutes to reset.

We have similar public information campaigns in the UK as well: take a break at least every two hours and more frequently if you're driving under more draining conditions; if you're starting to feel tired then pull over as soon as possible, have a caffeinated drink and maybe take a short nap; and so on. At certain times of year, the big displays on major roads even display "don't drive tired" and "take a break" reminders.
