...while driving is eating Starburst candies. I am totally not kidding here. I keep a package on the dash and when I get tired, I'll start on them. First, it's a little game to figure out how to get the wrapper off in a dark truck, then when you do, they're all juicy and slightly tart in your mouth. The juicy part will snap you out of being sleepy in a heartbeat.
Seriously, give it a try and tell me I'm wrong...
The best thing I've found for staying awake...

Sleep is truly the best way to stop being tired. And if your one of those drivers that runs loose leaf logs and doesnt bother to take that 34 off? We now know why you need starbursts. Take that 34 off and park that rig. Turn your qualcomm volume to a 1 setting or put it in an ice chest and rest on your 34. You will be surprised what happens to your need for sleep if you just rest on your 34. And resting does not mean going inside the Flying J to do laundry and watch the race or whatever.

Until you wind up with diabetes from all the sugar. Yeah a couple here and there is fine. I never in my life ate natural whole wheat bread until now and I don't know if it's just my imagination but it seems to give me a little perk-up. Just plain bread nothing on it + sleep !

An RJS or some Crossroads will keep you awake.
snowblind Thanks this. -
you got THAT MUCH.....????
and to the o/p.......
since i have more fillings than a blueberry pie, chewing on such candy (star burst, or chewing gum) will only serve to remove those fillings......
plus the sugar rush will only last for so long, then your body crashes -
yes a 25 pound barbell works wonders going down the road, too stay awake, just drop on your foot , you be wide awke then
wulfman75, arkdave, Soundhound and 1 other person Thank this.
