i've experienced microsleep: PLEASE PULL OVER WHEN YOU ARE SLEEPY

Sound more like psychological help. Lol

 

The caffeine in 12 oz sodas is under 50 mg. Even at 50 mg, it’s no match for a small cup of coffee. Energy drinks have about 80 mg per 8 oz.

 

Do a little study on the effects of coffee. It works somewhat to help you stay awake if, you just drink a cup or so in the mornings. Myself. I drink coffee from the time I get up till the time I go to bed, right before I go to bed. it does nothing to keep you awake if you drink a lot of coffee.
When I ran otr. I generally shut down late, and at a place where I could sit at a table or counter and have a waitress serve me. I would always go in and have a cup and unwind before hitting the bunk, even now I will usually get in sometime between midnight and 4 in the morning and the wife will have me a pot made, so I can have a fresh hot cup before hitting the hay.
I read the medical reasons for this years ago, but I can't remember them.

 

I remember reading that caffeine has less effect on regular coffee drinkers, but coffee can still have a good effect if you drink a lot of it or coffee with higher caffeine content than normal. I personally only drink coffee or eat sunflower seeds whenever I think I will need them. There are days where I don’t drink coffee. I’ve never been a fan of coffee. I use it mostly as a tool.

 

What is the name of your podcast?

 

Man, isn't that kind of old school?
Co driver named Benny?

 

I spent more than a few 30 minute breaks taking a nap instead of having a snack. When the heavy eye lids start, it's time to pull over.

 

Drink coffee under normal health for 24 hour period, and your up for 24 hours no meds needed.
Or being a young green driver and you are to exited to sleep. For days.
