Answer 2

Make use of rest areas, whether nature is calling or not. Get out and walk around. Grab a snack or beverage. It may take you a little longer to get where you're going, but it's better than the alternative. Five minutes of walking and stretching can work wonders.

Keep the vehicle as cool as possible. Don't constantly gaze at the highway. Check the mirrors, signs, and anything else for a second or so to keep your eyes moving. Maintaining a steady stare at the highway and those moving white lines can cause "highway hypnosis" which can put you to sleep in minutes.

Don't try to set endurance records. Driving a thousand miles without sleep is nothing to brag about. You're doing nothing but endangering yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the road. If and when you arrive, you'll be spending the next twelve hours sleeping, so what will you gain?

If you're still having difficulty keeping awake, it's time to find a motel or safe spot to park and call it a day.

Answer 3

dont sleep while your driving, or dont drive at all

Answer 4

Whenever you feel yourself starting to get tired, stop and take a break. Stop at a gas station or rest stop, get out of the car, stretch, and walk around. You need to get your blood pumping. Even if you have to make several pit stops in the course of your trip, do it.

Drink caffeinated drinks like coffee and soda. This should keep your energy high.

Eat something. Of course, you don’t want to have an entire turkey dinner while you are driving and become comatose, but simply snack on some peanuts or chips. This will give you something else to focus on other than being tired.

Turn the a/c on and point the vents at your face on high blower.

If you're sleepy, you shouldn't be driving. It only takes a second for you to fall asleep behind the wheel and possibly be involved in a accident.

Answer 10

Drink lots and lots of highly caffeinated beverages.

That way, not only will you be hopped up on caffeine, you will need to p**s like never before.

Also, if it is cold outside, turn your A/C up all the way.

Answer 11

Depends on a few things,Are you prone to being tired all the time,or just when driving,and how long have you been driving when you start getting tired,I like to get a wash cloth and put into a ice jug and rub the back of my neck and face,it helps for awhile,Don`t force yourself to stay awake,You will cause yourself to be unalert, Take a nap or just go walk around for a bit.

Answer 12
