Hi NewNashGuy, that's not entirely true, I've said some stupid things, only because I didn't word it properly. To the OP, Cabwrecker says
"keep going", I strongly disagree, if you are tired, PULL OVER NOW!!! While many state patrol are cracking down on ramp parking,( so stupid, better I should fall asleep, Smokey?) If I was tired, and there was no sign on the ramp, I'd stop, as ANY nap is better than struggling.![]()
Good places to pull over for a power nap?

I have always used out of the way places to fuel and sleep. A little thought about is this or is this not a good place to catch a few will guide you there fine. Same as if a power nap helps you take it, don't worry bout what everybody else is doing or your clock. If I'm tired I sleep if not I hammer down till I can seems to work

Don't stop in Cuervo, NM.
It is CREEPY.
We heard tapping on the sleeper and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a wooly rhino. -
Mr Ed Thanks this.

I haven't had to do it yet, but if you must park on the shoulder or a ramp to take a nap, you should consider putting out your triangles and leaving you lights on so you don't end up in a situation like this:

I never park on shoulder, off or on ramps. The reason because it's your fault if someone hits you. Find a rest area, or truck stop. Usually for me I only power nap in the very early AM hours if running through the night. Hope this helps
