Clearly you are not driving fast enough. I never fall asleep cos I am always driving on the edge!

this.
when i drive slow i start to take a nap. but when im zoomin around i have no interest in sleep haha.

I can't fall asleep because I almost always have the windows open, and if I don't the weird pressure and odd noises keep me alert...

Yea I usually drive in rush hour so I stay alert but I got out early today so it was pretty open. Also, on that stretch of highway theres always Dallas County Constables there... so no speeding for me there

O yea and my cruise control doesn't work haha maybe you can fix it for me :)

Got really close driving to the picnic this year. We spent 8 hours stranded on the side of the highway, so we didn't make it to James' house until like 4 in the morning. I5 for 3 hours early in the morning sucks. Ended up rolling the windows down a few times even though it was like 40º out and blasted Pendulum most of the way there. lol

Didn't want to show the parental units the raw damage

whew man thats scary stuff. I remember waking up to almost hitting the center divider and noticing that all the cars behind me were backed off by a mile or so. Definitely needs to be an issue discussed more often on car trips.

It's happened to me more than once, but strangely when I drove straight from Halifax to Jersey City in one straight shot I never started to nod off.

I have a bad problem of dozing while I am driving. Especially in my automatic truck.

One thing I have found that never fails to cure it is chewing sun flower seeds. If I start dozing I pull over a get a pack and I'll be wide away after that. Apparently keeping myself busy trying to get those tiny little seeds out of the shells gives me enough of something to do to keep me alert

this happened to me, the e30 slowly went towards the median from the 2nd lane and i woke up as my e30 was bouncing up and down on the median. got focus scared shiitless, looked nthe rear view. ALL CARS STOPPED. pulled off the freeway checked for damage only curb rash. luckily now i drink coffee or something before driving late nights.

I know I will get shit for this, but I have found the best way for me to stay up during long trips late at night with no traffic is speed like a madman. Nothing keeps you awake quite like a huge grin on your face and frantically scanning for cops.

I don't do it on the regular or anything, but I have averaged 95 or so mph including gas stops on a few long trips in the wee hours of the morning. Don't be an asshole though. You can cruise very quickly and still be respectful of traffic when it's present. Also, don't be an idiot. Don't try this if your car isn't in good shape, or if you're inexperienced. If you are starting to feel groggy and nothing's working, just pull over and sleep. Whoever you're driving to see will understand.

blasted Pendulum most of the way there. lol

Good choice. :p
