A fatigued crj-200 captain made an error while taxiing on an early morning departure after two night...

Narrative:

Beautiful sunny morning with good visibility. Was told to taxi from the to runway 28 via charlie and bravo. First officer read it back as stated and correctly. I taxied via charlie and took a right turn on bravo one followed by a left on bravo. The ground controller stated we made a wrong turn and I stopped. We sat there for about 25 minutes or so and waited to be released to our destination. Neither the first officer nor I caught the mistake until [the] controller told us. I believe the only factor involved was fatigue: two nights earlier was a reduced rest later pm finish with 8 hours behind the door. I probably slept 6 hours that night. The night previous to this incident was a minimum compensatory 11 hours from duty of which I only slept 3 or 4 hours. I just could not sleep the night before. More sleep would definitely make me more alert and less apt to make mistakes such as this.
