i blast some music and sing with it
I blast the air conditioning and the radio!
Coffee usually works for me. If not, I will try drinking an energy drink.
Hate to say it and don't mean anything by it, but I can't drive when I'm sleepy. Just can't do it. Someone else has to drive.
if it's cold outside, i crank up the ac
if it's hot outside, i slap my cheeks every few minutes
Turn the music up. Oh but you can't leave out starbucks coffee.
Have a good day,
Silent
Oh crap, I quit smoking about seven months ago & you just reminded me what I did to stay awake. I haven't gone on a long trip in a while. Well, I used to smoke to stay awake...Gotta figure out something else to do now!
I stop and get coffee
Cigars or cigarettes
caffine.
my husband does the nasty stuff by dipping, which is a tobacco product. it's gross, but it's what he does.
as for being really sleepy we take naps while one drives.
I sing along with the radio.
the best thing to do is pull over get some coffee or something but get out of the car and walk around.
if you want even try some push ups to get the blood flowing.
Loud music, sing, stick my head out the window a little for air, turn the ac on high and point the vents in my face,stop at quick marts to stretch, pee or get a soda .If someone such as my daughter is with me I make her talk to me a lot.
Smoke crack... JK! I chew gum and get coffee.
I had to quit driving because of lousy arthritic fingers. But what I use to do is keep the radio on, open the window and my hubby and I talk about this and that. If I got really sleepy, he always says put your seat back and have a snooze.
EDIT: Thought I should clarify that~~no I'm not driving at the time. lol
Bring along something sugary to eat. Play the radio loudly. Turn on the AC! If these measures fail, I pull over for a quick power nap.
I used to do lots of things including opening the windows,turning up the radio,drinking lots of coffee and so on.
Now I don't tempt fate. I try to stop and rest.
