Pull over and stop. It’s not worth it.
However, if you decide not to: simply jerk off while driving. It works. 🤷♂️
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely your job will accept that explanation.
Requiring to drive cars even when it’s dangerous sucks.
Mfw I work 24 hour shifts driving an ambulance
Cold AC on blast, Spanish band music super loud, downing energy drinks, chewing gum/jerkey/anything, slapping myself across the face, and pinching my legs… all to stay awake while driving and not die.
God! I was stupid.
Who else has pulled over and done jumping jacks on the side of the road to wake up?
You might want to get checked out for sleep apnea.
sleep deprivation and ADHD present a lot of the same symptoms.
With my CPAP I don’t fall asleep in the car on the way to work after being “asleep” for 8 hours. Still can’t focus so if I end up in the ditch, it won’t be because I nodded off.
I’m not a great sleeper, even when I’m in my bed, it’s dark and quiet, and I’m tired, so I’ve never worried about falling asleep at the wheel, but it happened one time. I was around 30 and between marriages. I had gone to a couple back-to-back parties and had been awake 30+ hours. Driving home on the freeway going 70, I got woken up by my tires going over the lane marker dots. I couldn’t have been asleep for more than a moment but it scared the complete crap out of me. I drove home with the window down (it was cold out), the stereo up, and smelling like adrenaline. I’ve never pushed it like that again.
Don’t trust it.Cold or noise won’t help, nor will the adrenaline, nor daylight. You will fall asleep. Been there, done driving my car into a rock wall at just 30km/h. I’m glad I had dropped off the passenger already because the passenger side couldn’t fit a passenger anymore.
This happened to me once, when i thought it was a good idea to get up at 6am, do chores around the house then work a full 8 hours from 10p-6a doing construction then drive 2 hours home. (Thing is, i could pull it off in my youth). Well, no more. I’m very very lucky neither i nor anyone else had to pay for my stupidity.
