Well, this is always the case when I start my 10's at like 4 or 5 pm. When I do my 10's at 8 or 9 then I sleep like a baby because everyone is already parked.
Otr and sleep?

In general it takes 21 days to form a habit. So in about 3 weeks you will sleep in the truck like its nothing. Im a little different my very first night otr i slept like a baby. Just remember humans are the most adaptable animals on the planet.

That's true Generic. If you're tired enough you'll sleep fine on a park bench.
Left coast trucker and miss elvee Thank this. -

There is nothing better than sleeping in your own bed at home. Using your nice clean shower.
GoldenLad, Left coast trucker and Bob Dobalina Thank this. -

more than once when my truck was parked out in the driveway did I get up at 0200 and go out and wake up in the sleeper lol.
Cranky Yankee Thanks this. -
I could sleep through a carpet bombing. Now if I hear a strange noise then I wake up immediately. The one thing that gets me is my own truck at times. Set the brakes go to sleep and in the middle of the night the truck jumps like you have been hit. Get up and go take a look only to figure out that it was just the airbags draining and the brakes slipping.

I only do 2 things in a truck...1rive 2:Sleep. Why do I need a big sleeper? If you drive when you're supposed to drive, you should have no problems sleeping when you're supposed to sleep.Slowpoke KW Thanks this. -
I got way more rest OTR than home plus once you get used to the diesel humm and vibration its hard to sleep without it honestly
Left coast trucker and GenericUserName Thank this.
