Up at 9:30 this morning, had to wait to drop a trailer at 10:00 pm then have a load to pick and drive 10 hours tonight. Laying down not able to sleep for 4 hours. Any suggestions on staying attentive and alert?

I use caffine. Also, I always take a nap,usually an hour, about the time the sun comes up.
GenericUserName and GOD & COUNTRY Thank this. -
2 monsters, and 2 five hour extra strength energys. Turn the radio up or talk trash on the cb.

We have XM radio but even still, I listen to good audiobooks on much of those nights when they come up. These (action drama 'faction' books like the Scot Harvath series that can be found on Audible)
Also, keep some Cuties or Halos tangerines nearby. They're easy to peel, tasty, and give a bit of a energy boost.Last edited: Apr 8, 2018

did you eat heavy meals, (lots of carbs or sugars?)
all you can do is now, drink more caffeine. then try and take a power nap later, no more than 20 minutes, otherwise, you will wake up all groggy and miserable.hagarcobra Thanks this. -
Alternatively, you can leave him a message at 202-456-1111.

Sugar free monster, crank up the radio, Copenhagen wintergreen, and start talking crap on the CB.
Canadianhauler21 and RedRover Thank this. -
Ideally he should have went out and partied all last night and went to bed about 11 oclock this morning.
I just hope if he gets tired he stops to sleep. -
