what do you do to stay awake when you are getting sleepy while driving? My brother in law recently had this happen and was seriously hurt and demolished his car. I have to drive at night often while being tired. I crank the stereo, drink or eat, talk to who ever is in the car, and sometimes roll down the window to get fresh air in.

Hi there.. Though I have never fallen asleep on the wheel, I still take a lot of precautions whnever there's a chance.. I have kept a box of chewing gums in my car, so that I can pop one into my mouth while I am feeling sleepy.. Also, I turn on the radio of my car, which is more interesting then the regular music on cds.. Even I roll down my window completely so that air keeps striking my air, and I don't fall asleep...
