A 30 minute power nap does wonders for me. Sometimes mid day it HITS! I pull over, set my alarm for 22 minutes. I’m out in 3-4 minutes and usually wake right before my alarm. I feel amazing the rest of the day.
No way could I fall asleep that fast at night. Really wish I could though.

Thanks for all the replys. I actjally really glad you all have said similar things.
I should clear up a little. I work on a farm and drive the semi most of the time. Between tractors and such i get tired but try to take power naps, and they work. Last year really bothered me because one day during harvest we picked corn from 10am till 230 am the next day. Between running the grain cart and the truck by myself i was dead. I kept joking i needed cocaine.
That is an extreme scenario but i find myself getting sleepy even after a full nights sleep find myself "dozing" off by 1 or 2 pm. What would help besides a ton of caffeine? P.S i dont drive semi for a job, just on the farm. This is the main reason i wont get my cdl. Im not safe on the road if i get sleepy this oftenRideandrepair, x1Heavy, Lepton1 and 1 other person Thank this. -

I've always heard old timers say to get out and walk around the truck or something active. But just taking a break seems to work better, for me.Unidewking Thanks this. -
