say you had a tiring day at work...too long hours for example...and you have a long drive ahead of you...

 

Do you drink stuff like RedBull or Shark to keep yourself alert? Or maybe even Chicken Essence? What works for you? Or you are automatically alert once you are behind the wheel?

 

 

For me, the blue can Redbull works pretty good for me...so is the white can Shark. [drivingcar][sleeping]

If super tired but need to drive, I try to do a little shut eye for 5 min in the car before driving off. Then splash some water onto the face to freshen up a bit. But effective only for 10 min or so. After that, it is really try to dong. Lucky this only happens to me a few times only.

I ran a few competitive races with zero or a few hours sleep the night before.

 

The drive back at the end of the race is a struggle. I try to keep awake by :

 

1) Turning on the music real loud

2) Singing in the car

3) Taking that packet of powergel

4) Drink water along the way, dap a bit on face

5) Mints

6) Wind down windows

 

Drive safe!

Tried before but damn dangerous because mostly in a daze and reaction is much slower.

 

I just keep shaking my head and hope to reach home fast.

 

But then once I step out of the car, I suddenly will feel refreshed. But then it will last until I open my front door only.

You did the correct way. [thumbsup]

 

Make it a 15 minutes nap then drive home to sleep ASAP.

Cannot be 15 min because I fall asleep very easily and 15 min can easily become more than 1 hour. [laugh]

 

Lucky thing is from office to home there is no expressway so at least the drive is not so monotonous.

Hehe...for me my reaction is still the same but somehow not as cautious...wont say reckless but need to constantly remind myself to play safe go slow cos my pregnant wife is sitting next to me...but sometimes very hard...already sleepy then get some roadhogger going at 70+ at CTE...will just smile at my wife...signal, change lane and overtake. [sweatdrop]

Haha, same. Prob less cautious and will drive a little faster. Except no pregnant wife beside me and usually alone when that happens.
