If you have ever taken a road trip – regardless of whether it was for fun or for ‘task’ – you have likely found how easily the road can make you sleepy. After all, the rush of the lines and the buzz of the tires often acts like a sedative. For anyone who ever plans to drive long distances, it is absolutely vital that they understand how to stay awake when the tiredness hits.

One big reason why long-distance driving will often make you feel so suddenly sleepy is because of the monotony of just driving and driving and driving. In order to cut this monotony a bit, it is important for you to understand what works best for you for “changing things up.” While some people feel that it is helpful to them to listen to music while they drive, for instance, even this can put you to sleep. If you listen to music, you need to frequently alter the sort of music you are playing, or else you need to switch back back and forth between no music and music.

Adjusting the temperature in the car, either by using the windows or by using the car’s air conditioning and/or heating settings is another great way for a driver to change things up, cutting the monotony.

Trying to go from gas stop to gas stop is one way people try to go about condensing their drive – which can often mean as much as five to six straight hours of driving. Rather than doing this, you should stop every hour or two in order to get out and stretch, helping the blood flow through your body.

And eating something that takes a long time to eat is one of the best ways to stay awake on a long drive. A couple examples of such items are apples – which can take a while if you eat them down to the core – and a bag of sunflower seeds.

When you are driving long distances, your ultimate goal is often to finish the journey as quickly as possible; but remember, if you do not learn how to stay awake whlie driving long distances, you may not make it there at all!
