Suddenly getting sleepy while driving in traffic

[Chapo Guzman v2]

Anybody get this shit? I commute about 70 miles daily and that 5 o'clock traffic kills me to the point keeping my eyes open. I sympathize with truckers, except with their added trouble of having to deal with stupid drivers who cut them off and expect them to be able to brake to a halt instantly.

Yeah i have to drive 2-3 hrs a couple days a week and i can be awke 100% but that roady sleepy shit will hit me hard

 

[Chapo Guzman v2]

Damn it's a struggle G.. i'm perfectly fine as soon as I exit the freeway but while on it and in traffic I'm ready to just knock out. I'm only on the road for maybe an hour and some change tops, but 2-3 hours hell naw i'd die lol.

 

[StillHustlin]

my round trip is about 75/80 miles too

I used to have the same prob when I worked days, especially if I hit the gym and had low caloric intake (prob blood sugar for me). Now I work overnight so I pop a caffeine fix at 4/5 in the morning and it gets me through the end and home

 

[DuceTheTruth]

Snacking helps me cause I drive a lot too. Sunflower seeds...gum...gatdamn chips...smh

 

[EvilBo$$]

You know what I do to stay awake on the road? I drink a cold 40oz.
The buzz seems to keep me awake

I'm cool driving around the city, but road trips kill me. I'm guaranteed to get tired on a road trip no matter how awake I was leaving. I drive from Phoenix to Vegas like 2-3 times a year and the drive back is always the fucking worst.

Roll down the windows or blast the AC

Put on some comedy shit from youtube

Grab a rockstar or Monster

Be safe

Luckily it only takes me 10 minutes to get to work

This shit didn't use to happen but lately it has. Today I drank an 8oz coffee before leaving work and it didn't help much soon as I was half way home.

I make the Kansas City-Orlando/Tampa Florida 2-3 times a year. The drive back especially once I cross St. Louis is especially tough.

I fell asleep in a work truck last year and swerved into the other lane. My coworker was like wtf and I had to pull over to let them drive.

 

[AdolfOliverBush]

They need to perfect and mass produce self-driving vehicles so we can all nap on the 1-2 hour commute.

 

[Chapo Guzman v2]

Sign me up for that!

There's a part on 101 in Palo Alto where the lanes shift all fucked up, I dont think a self driving car would be able to handle that tho...

I used to work for a transportation company. I was not a driver but had to move the tractor/trailers around the yard and to the docks. I could only imagine dealing with the shitty drivers on the road every fucking day.

On the other hand, I've commuted for over 15 years and I've seen more than my fair share if idiotic and shitty truck drivers. They generally feel they're entitled to your lane whenever they want to go 0.5 mph faster than the fuckin semi in front of them no matter how little room there is for them to merge. I've almost been run into the guard rail at least 10 times by a dip shit trucker AS THEY MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH ME IN THEIR MIRROR. I'm already halfway past them, toward the middle of their fuckin trailer and they throw the blinker on and it's just "fuck it."

Well, looks like I dont have to worry about that commute for the time being. My whole team was basically laid off and replaced by cheaper labor overseas.
