How do you stay awak on the road?

[Msmith]

1. Coffee- Doesn't help much.
2. Pinch myself -It is a lose lose situation.
3. Roll down the window- same as coffee.
4. Sour lemon drops - It lasts about 5 minutes.

Any other tips?

[Bugeater]

I've splashed ice water from my cooler all over my face before, that wakes you right the hell up.

Get decent sleep before driving. Long road trips are really easy with audiobooks until tired. For me one I start fighting sleep I have an energy drink or few until I need to stop.

There for a while I was drinking 3 or 4 espresso's a day and chasing them with this stuff:

Early in the morning is what gets me. takes me a while to really wake up. Coffee and ice water. Together. Each one gives me it's own kinda jolt, except from each side of the spectrum. Really hot..and really cold, either way it gives a nice little rush.

I'm usually a zombie until like 830-9am.

But I can drive all night no problem if I have to. Always been the "drive it in one shot" kind of person.

This is what I do. It takes a little bit of work to get the seed out of the shell so your constantly working at it. Does a great job of keeping you alert.

[Johnny Vegas]

small meal before the drive so you can snack during the drive once you get tired. eating a big meal will make you tired.

5 hour energy x2

stop and run around the car a couple times

playing some heavy metal, which I like, or some sort of hard rock to get your heart pumpin. also the occasional dubstep turned up. hip hop doesn't do it for me in fact the beats are almost relaxing so I avoid hip hop.

scream and turn up the A/C full blast

above all just pull over and nap till you wake up if you're getting no results.

Eat them one at a time without using your fingers.

Don't eat the shell! Gross.

Break open the shell with your teeth, remove the seed with your tongue, and then spit out the shell.

[NewChief]

Much like sunflower seeds, chewing tobacco works pretty well at keeping me occupied. I can't stand riding in a car unless I'm driving, so I do all the driving on road trips. We drive 13 hours to Florida at least once a year, so I always do that drive. Coffee, chew, and headphones (because I can't subject my kids to the music I need to listen to in order to stay awake).

If you are talking about driving at night the best way to lose the sleep monkeys is to make the cab uncomfortable ... either too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer.

Now if you are the weekend warrior and think you can go to work at 7 am get off work at 5, then drive 500 miles you are probably gonna kill yourself or someone else some day.

I have been driving nights 3-500 miles per night for the last 10 years and even with the proper rest you still get sleepy at times.

I don't do energy drinks or shots... Black coffee will wake you up and believe it or not Diet Mountain Dew or Diet Sun Drop wakes me up.

You never get used to driving at night

Yeah, I think coffee is the way to go. Energy drinks have other stuff in them that leads to you crashing once the caffeine wears off, imo.

[patteeu]

Too much work. And besides, the shell is the salty part that tastes so good. I just chew them up good, being careful not to poke my gums with the sharp pieces of shell, and swallow. It's good fiber.

[htismaqe]

They're just horribly bad for you. It's not the caffeine, it's all the other stuff they put in it. It's like soda with antifreeze in it.

I don't care what anyone says, 5 Hour Energy works. I don't feel any kind of buzz at all from it, but I don't get tired when I'm driving through the night after drinking one.

From a person who is frequently up all night and sleep deprived, 5 hour energy works really well I always have 3-4 in my car. When I get ready to shoot at night I take one and I'm good, no jitters just alert.

[htismaqe]

Too much work.

That's what keeps you awake silly!

[NewChief]

They're just horribly bad for you. It's not the caffeine, it's all the other stuff they put in it. It's like soda with antifreeze in it.

I'll drink them on occasion (like once a month) if I'm exhausted after work and need to do something that requires me to be "on" that evening (dinner party or community meeting or something). For whatever reason, they give me about 3 hours of energy, then I crash pretty hard from them. If I drink coffee after work, it keeps me up much longer, and I have a hard time falling asleep.

[ChiTown]

Red Bull and Vodka. FTMFW!

Didn't you play baseball as a kid? Load them in your cheek, stand one up vertically in your molar, pop it open, run it up to your front teeth, dig it out, spit the shell, chomp the seed. If you're good, you can run the shell over to the other cheek for stotage, but I never got that down.

[jjchieffan]

The thing that helps me the most is having someone to talk to. I have spent hours on my cellphone to stay awake. If I have nobody to talk to, then I will pull off and take a 20-30 minute nap followed by getting out and walking around a bit before starting again.

I've had a couple of close calls falling asleep at the wheel driving back to Dallas after a chiefs game. It's hard to stay awake driving through southern Oklahoma late at night when it's pitch black and you're physically exhausted. If I pull over and nap for about 15 to 20 minutes I'm fine.

yep, after several close calls I've concluded that once you get to the point where you are starting to nod off, there is absolutely nothing you can really do (safely) other than pull over and take a short nap. You don't have to sleep it off all night, but a nap usually refreshes you enough to power through.

No but I do eat peanut shells. Easier than shelling them and tastes good (if salted) and it's just fiber so there is no problem with it.

Yep. I'm about 50/50 on eating peanut shells. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I always eat sunflower shells though.

Didn't you play baseball as a kid? Load them in your cheek, stand one up vertically in your molar, pop it open, run it up to your front teeth, dig it out, spit the shell, chomp the seed. If you're good, you can run the shell over to the other cheek for stotage, but I never got that down.

Your instructions were kind of unclear..my dick got caught in the ceiling fan

I have no problem staying awak.
I can drive all day without a problem but once it gets dark i immediately start getting woozy.

I think i would get some eye strain or something and the oncoming headlights just lull me to sleep. Blublocker type glasses help me a ton.

Just put two beer bottles on the dashboard on either side of the steering wheel and use them as a guide by keeping them between the lines on the road.

Get a new wife :D

My wife sees me eating them and then thinks SHE needs to eat them. And use my cup to spit the shells into.

I am more concerned she will get a new husband. I'm the smart one who married up.

I turn the temp down and the radio up.

I drive quite a bit off and on for work. One thing I do is pull over to a rest area and grab 10-15 snooze if I'm fighting off dozing. It's better to get to my destination 10 minutes later than to smash into a mini van full of people.


Last weekend, 4 consecutive hours of "LET IT GO" by my kids was enough to make my brain explode which kept me alert for driving purposes.




the cold never bothered me anyway.

Temp on low, windows down, water bottle poured on head. Does the trick(really only works in the winter)

[Easy 6]

When I used to drive for a living there were many days, usually toward the end of a hot day, where I would have to pull over at a gas station/restaurant etc to shut my eyes for 15-20 minutes.

Its amazing what even that little amount of time can do, not sleeping, just keeping my eyes closed for a bit... it works wonders.

[OldSchool]

Sunflower seeds always work for me.

Extra strength 5-hour energy also helps. However, a lifetime of that will likely mess up your body.

Trying to will yourself to stay awake never works, IMO. I have dozed off at the wheel before going about 75 MPH and luckily my car didn't drift too much and the highway was straight at that point. I was out for maybe 10-15 seconds; scary as hell when I woke up straddling 2 lanes. After that I never drove long distances after a tournament or fishing trip without my sunflower seeds again.

[rtmike]

You're not suppose to sleep behind the wheel cause then you train your brain & body that it's OK. The worst times are sunset & sunrise. Sunrises' used to just kick my butt. I had a 68mph truck, averaged 6mpg over the life of it & averaged 150k a year for about 3 years before getting badly burned out.

I used to drive OTR & had a super nice, expensive stereo system installed.

If that didn't work, I'd do the ol' standby sunflower seeds. Pretty sure there's not a lot of folks dumb enough like myself who have ate as many seeds as I have over the years.


I used to have my family back home (Kansas) send me Fisher seeds since I can't get them up here. We're talking several pounds/bags. I could eat a 1lb. bag in a day's time if I wanted. Since I've gotten older plus the amount of meds I'm on make my mouth pretty dry as it is...not counting how sore the inside of my mouth will get. And that's both sides of my mouth since I'll crack/eat out of both side's.
I used to be able to look at a bag of Fishers & tell you whether the seeds were gonna be flavorful.


There's some brands up here that are pretty good. Spitz are good, lots of flavors'. Bigs are good too.


Family can't find the Fisher seeds anymore. What about the KC area? Any around there?

When you're trying to get a truckload of Coors to Big Enis and Little Enis before the deadline, you can't just pull over and rest. That is no way to do what they say can't be done.

That's what happens when they're thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana.

After 2300 miles over the last 8 days, I have this mastered, including storing the spent shells in the other cheek. It's kind of fun to blast out a dozen empties all at once. I prefer my incisors to split the seed though. I also found out that the actual seed has a coat that you can skin off if you work at it.

Excellent work. Still haven't got the storage down but I haven't tried since I was 8.

Knowing that I'll probably die if I fall asleep does a pretty good job keeping me awake.

I have fallen asleep twice while driving and both times wake up strips have saved my life.

[SCTrojan]

The only thing that works for me is smoking. Used to do it in the army when we had those stupid 72 hour exercises where everyone was expected to stay awake through the whole thing.

[buddha]

1. Coffee- Doesn't help much.
2. Pinch myself -It is a lose lose situation.
3. Roll down the window- same as coffee.
4. Sour lemon drops - It lasts about 5 minutes.

Any other tips?

A bag of the small, peeled carrots do the trick for me.

I know many people on here will probably scoff at the idea, but have you tried sucking your own cock? I used to drive a 16 wheeler for Target in the early 2000's and would often find myself pulling all nighters multiple nights in a row. Whenever I thought I would potentially pass out, I'd take out my big fat talliwacker and go to town. Nothing will wake you up quicker than a nice girthy johnson.
