Sleepy while Driving

This is really not a right time to drive. Taking a short nap is necessary, without a enough rest is really result bad. It is better to avoid this kind situation, avoid driving.

Oh yah, it happened to me couple of times. One time I fell asleep already and my husband were screaming at me coz I almost hit the ditch.. And now, I don't drive anymore when I feel sleepy. I do a power nap now like 20 mins in my car before driving.

Let me just say, "FINALLY!" Okay, now that I have gotten that out of the way. Yes, this is a real problem on the road, and often times people don't know it, but sleeping behind the wheel can be dangerous, and in some states, you can get a DUI for doing this. If you feel the need to go to sleep behind the wheel, then pull over for a minute and sleep because you are no good on the road if you haven't had any shut eye. Another thing is tea, coffee, or anything that can keep you awake. If you are on a schedule, then do whatever it takes to keep yourself awake. I had this problem a few times, and a couple of those times, I just pulled over a slept for a while. Other times, I just cranked up the radio and kept tea or coffee next to me because I was on the clock.

Yes my friend I was almost killed while driving alone with Mr Sleepiness on my side.Like you I was once a traveler before as part of my job. I forced to looked what was the best alternative to fight sleepiness while driving. I found calamansi or lemon fruit is the best. Whenever sleepiness strikes while driving, squeeze one directly on your mouth. The sourness of the lemon keep the sleepiness away. Try it my friend. But, the best idea is for you to have a good sleep (earlier) prior to the date of long driving...take care my friend.. Mobhomeir here 042512 1930

It happens to me sometimes also. However it is really dangerous for you and the others people also, especially there are many people going on that street at that time. When being sleepy, i try to sing any sentence of any song, you may think i am mad when do like that, but singing, of course not out loud, keeps me awake...

Drink some coffee or some energy thing. or maybe even an apple in the morning. they give you lots of energy.

As a taxi driver I have to cope with being sleepy many times a week :( Best tricks to avoid being sleepy is to have a good rest-- not my case Coffee-- always a good help. Some of my fellow drivers prefer RedBull but I don't like it. I drink it when there is nothing left I can do. Chewing gum-- chewing activates your brain and helps quite good when you are not too tired. Hope this helps next time you feel like that ;)

what?! you are sleepy while driving? why not stop for awhile if youcan't fight it. hmmm, you are being careless ha.

Have you tried massaging your ears? Sometimes helps to keep myself awake. Or even if it's a one hour drive, maybe you can stop half way and get out of the car for a few minutes and move a little bit. Take care, it is dangerous to drive when you are very sleepy.

Generally, driving a car is not highly involved. Sing, studies show that people who sing in the car get in fewer accidents. It's good to keep yourself entertained while driving by listening to music etc. The best thing to do is to get sufficient sleep before your trip. If you get sleepy while driving, GET OFF THE ROAD, park your vehicle side by and get some sleep. The life you save may be your own!!!
