It can be fatal \u2013 drowsy driving is 15% of all highway accidents. Microsleep, a brief, uncontrollable period that can last up to 30 seconds, is one such threat. It&#8217;s possible to fall into it without realizing it. Even if it&#8217;s only for ten seconds, it&#8217;s enough to cause a crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media1.giphy.com\/media\/BwqxBFQprJOTwHtfNE\/giphy.gif?cid=790b761124e2627e9af96af893318f664fb7b6f475d26ee1&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g\" alt=\"Tired Modern Family GIF by PeacockTV\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If any of the following applies to you, get off the road as soon as possible:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Yawning and scratching eyes frequently<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Can&#8217;t recall the last several miles\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mind-wandering, not focused on the road<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Drifting over the rumble strip and into other lanes\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tailgating<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35620 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"One of the tips to stay awake while driving is pull over\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_215568068_XL-min-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What to do when you feel sleepy when driving<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before driving again, find a safe place to stop for 20 minutes, lock your car, and take a quick nap. Before you get back on the road, you can follow the following tips to stay awake while driving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Turn on the air conditioning in the car:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Open the windows or turn on the air conditioning to wake you up. Aim the vents away from your eyes if possible to avoid drying them out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Play some songs:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0However, if you listen to too many loud or rapid tunes, you won&#8217;t be able to tell if the engine is struggling or if someone is about to slam into the back of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gum chewing:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Chewing gum, according to scientists, can make you feel less weary by preventing you from yawning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Have a cup of coffee:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Thirty minutes before driving, a modest dosage of caffeine is good \u2014 black coffee or unsweetened tea is preferable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not heavy meals, but healthy snacks:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Don&#8217;t drive full or empty \u2014 eat nutritious snacks like bananas, hard-boiled eggs, apples, or dark chocolate regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Extend your legs:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Mild exercise can help your brain get more oxygen while also giving your body a break from sitting for long periods.

They concluded that if you need to accomplish any of them, you should take a break and rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Taking regular naps is the best line of action. The researchers discovered that 15-minute naps taken every six hours could maintain function for up to 35 hours without sleep. Naps can indeed make such a difference, and even closing your eyes for four minutes in your seat can help. Furthermore, they do not compel you to alter your plans, and it&#8217;s as simple as pulling into the nearby parking lot or service station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, your nap should be no more than 20 minutes; any longer will make you feel even more fatigued while your body adjusts to the full eight-hour sleep it requires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35621 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Stay awake while driving by having a quick power nap\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Depositphotos_492886462_XL-min-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What to do to stay awake before you drive?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are six more techniques to avoid driving exhausted if you&#8217;re planning a lengthy trip:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Look into all of your travel possibilities:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Consider using public transportation, such as rideshare apps or carpools, especially if you&#8217;ve had previous issues with drowsy driving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is there no other choice except to drive:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If possible, drive when your body is used to being awake &#8211; early in the morning rather than late at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Get six to nine hours of sleep every night:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To help your body develop a habit, try going to bed and waking up at a set time. Don&#8217;t be tempted to sleep in late after staying up late the night before. Because more sleep will cause your routine to be disrupted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make time to unwind before going to bed:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take a bath, drink a hot beverage, read a book, or listen to soothing music. Avoid staring at your mobile phones or tablets. These devices will influence your quality of sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take a passenger with you:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0They can keep an eye on you, engage you in conversation to keep you from becoming tired, and even take over the steering wheel in an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take into account your eating habits:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0While caffeine can provide a brief boost of energy, if you get reliant on it, you&#8217;ll have to increase your intake regularly since it loses its effectiveness. Caffeine addiction can cause sleeplessness, hypertension, and weariness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Reasons as to why you struggle to be awake while driving<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While researchers discovered that fatigue-related accidents are more likely on long highway rides, they also discovered that driver fatigue could impair daily commutes, even if they are only a short distance. Don&#8217;t merely expect you&#8217;ll get used to going to and from work if it exhausts you. Examine alternate routes and modes of transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Traveling regularly could potentially make it more difficult. According to studies, crashes are more likely to occur within five miles of home \u2014 the risk of losing attention is higher if it&#8217;s a familiar route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you&#8217;re constantly tired you might have narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a long-term condition in which the brain can&#8217;t regulate its sleeping patterns.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In most countries, you must report your illness to the authorities and refrain from driving until you are no longer experiencing symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, sleepiness behind the wheel is almost certainly an unavoidable result of a long journey. It has an impact on all drivers, especially at night. Even if we&#8217;re in great health, we should all take precautions. We all know how important it is for a driver to react promptly to hazards. If you can hardly keep your eyes open, that&#8217;s not conceivable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bottom line:\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When possible, avoid long nighttime drives in favor of other modes of transportation. Maintain a regular sleeping schedule. Also, eat nutritious food. A healthier lifestyle isn&#8217;t a quick fix that produces instant results. In fact, it will keep you awake for longer. This is the best tip to stay awake while driving. This is better than downing an energy drink while blasting heavy metal and hoping for the best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media0.giphy.com\/media\/l2JeaS2pTR5erf4fm\/giphy.gif?cid=790b76112436cf076b09bf253c513b5b32043d1a1d8ebe43&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g\" alt=\"Homer Simpson GIF\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here&#8217;s more info on\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/airport-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">top-rated airport parking<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the best parking spots in your city<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the most\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">affordable insurance<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for your car, and\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/car-wash-near-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">top-rated car washes near you<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving while sleepy is not a good idea.
