Falling Asleep While Driving

guess you are a Ray" LaHood cop

 

One is get well rested before any trip, wether be night or day, 2 is roll the window down a little bit for fresh air, try too stay focuse on the driving, dont stare ahead, keep looking around ,keep the cab cool,

 

I think for some ppl its just a gift to be able to stay awake, for others a curse that they can NOT stay awake.. You just need to know which you are.

I never really have much trouble staying awake, but i know when its time to stop for a nap too. I'm often up for 24hrs, not driving 24 hrs but going on duty at midnight after being up all day

 

There are many levels of Narcolepsy- I knew a TSGT in the Air Force who would fall asleep in a driver's seat in a half hour, tops.

Anyway today you're not allowed to drive fatigued, it's actually a criminal offense. So the Ladies and Gentlemen that drive for a living have a talent for staying awake when they're supposed to. For decades you stayed awake by being uncomfortable, by pulling hair out of your nose, moustache or eyebrows. You put a rock in your shoe and stomped on it.

These days the fear of Big Government towing our trucks, impounding our loads and destroying our driving careers keep us awake.

 

In my car I get sleepy in a few minutes but have never got tired driving my rig....I thought when I started I would have the same experience as with my car but nope, hasn't happened...

 

Go look at some really bad accident pictures and videos. If that doesn't keep you awake maybe you should turn in your drivers license.

 

This is good advice. If you crank the heat up when it's cold out you're just asking for trouble. Put on more clothes and turn the heat down or off.
