How can I keep from getting so sleepy when I drive for more than two hours?


Travel Info

Travel Tips
I used to drive 11 hours at a time, because I hated staying in a motel by myself. I would drink non-sugar sodas, and take no-doz (caffein) tablets. I would start out with 1/2 tablet to see what my reaction would be, then take another 1/2 tablet in 1-2 hours. Also, I would stop every 1-2 hours for 15 minutes or so to walk around or shop. (Walmart, etc.) Just to get the blood moving in my body. If you are really tired, just rest. It is very dangerous to drive while trying to keep your eyes open. The harder you try, the worse it gets. Good luck.
Others
Try listening to a book on tape. AVOID SLOW MUSIC AT ALL COST!!!! Also caffiene. Caffiene is our friend.
Watching my mom
try meth! you could drive for days without getting sleepy and you save on the motel and food costs.
if you are a smoker, try smoking. if not, listen to loud music or better yet, drink coffee or an energy drink that is high on caffeine before driving.
Get as good night's sleep before driving. That's your problem.
Also, put something uncomfortable in your seat, like glass or rocks.
I usually stop and get out as soon as I get sleepy. I walk around the car a couple of times or even jog a bit, just to get the blood flowing again. The fresh air from an open window (especially in winter in SA) also keeps me awake. Like the other people said: caffiene!
