sleeping in a moving truck

Good point from Rocky64. Do you get any exercise? That helps a ton. Even just a half hour walk will help.

I think you have gotten some good advice here--I would really look at the light situation--I have always tended to drive at night--and most of my buddies love to tease me because I also typically give up just before sunrise--they say I have to close the coffin lid LOL--but I still find after all these years--if I am asleep in the dark--the light rarely wakes me up--but when I lay down in the daytime--my body just seems to think its a nap!
I do know a couple of older husband/wife teams who have done this a long time--and a couple of them still wear ear plugs and one of those dark eye masks when they sleep-I tried the eye mask thing--but don't like it--but who knows?

 

great advice with some one that has a year over the road..lol

 

I hope you fiqure out how to get some sleep before you fall asleep driving and kill someone...

 

Many a time I slept in the back of a moving ambulance..

Trust is the only way one can do that.. if you don't trust the driver you're going to stress about every bump, brake, turn, shift and noise they make.. all the memory foam in the world isn't going to help..

 

It's funny but my son just got some home time and couldn't sleep,he said he was so used to sleeping while his partner was driving,that he had to get used to sleeping in a non moving bed.The same w/ driving a car,it took awhile to get used to it after months of driving the peterbuilt.
What I would try is 5mg Melatonin,available over the counter.Your body produces it naturally,and sometimes if I can't sleep,it's enough to push me over the edge into dream land.

 

I would love to drive with a brand new 22 yr. old wife, but I don't know what my 58 y/o wife would think. . .I'd prolly die.
