Sleepy while driving

Or get a Tesla

A lot of my coworkers drive 2-3 hours each way to work, a lot are going electric. One of them told me the other night he dozed off and had a 20 minute nap

Don't get a model 3 or y if you're carrying your kayaks as the roof rack will be held on by the glass roof. Opt for the X or S. Autopilot is great but it ask for you to hold on to the wheel every 30 seconds. You can bypass it by putting tying or attaching a heavy object to the wheel but it's dangerous because you might get to a sharp turn and the autopilot might disengage.

Flaming Hot Cheetos!! Or some other really spicy snacks/food should help in staying awake while driving.

Found this gem of a topic and had to revive it 

I recall many times in my early kayak fishing days where driving home from Monterey to SJ I had those blinks that lasted a little too long and then scared the heck out of me when I realized I was dozing off.  It would always happen on days that I took Dramamine and the long drive home, particularly when I was fairly close to home and letting my guard down.  Haven't had it happen since I stopped taking seasickness medicine.

But hey, I'm open to trying new alternatives for staying awake 

 

I wasn't expected it came out like that.
Now I just go to a parking lot, and take a 15mins nap. Work much better than any powder. 

Wasabi powder directly into nose?

Ask Otobepelagic.  His solution is "let my brother drive."

Wanna fil out the details AllenIII?

Oh, yeah. We love a good story, particularly if we can learn from it!

I've also found that drinking water helps, like working through a 20 oz bottle or two.

Also ditto on the powernaps. I used to fish for stripers at night in Raritan Bay NJ and would take 20-min naps in parking lots all the time

If I did that, I'd still have to stop to relieve my bladder more than once on the drive home.

Since I have a sleep disorder, I really have to watch how tired I get or I black out sleep which is a bad thing. I do know when I get close to that, I will just pull over and pass out for about a half hour to get back to normal. 

On long Solo drives Joe keeps me awake 

in on this group buy.

 

I pull off the road and take a nap now.  Back in about 1980, coming back from duck club in Williams on 505.   Woke up as I went over the curb and down the embankment about 100’ from the overpass abutment.   Still scares me.
