How Do I Remain Awake While Driving Back From Deca?

[chris_r31]

another vote here for shards, 2 points will have u awake for 18 to 25 hours, 100 buxs and u arive home alive..lol

or powernaps, i smacked my vp ss last year from fatigue, its like i was awake but i really wasnt..

[NickR33]

try drinking a powerade and badly needing to pee whilst still an hour from Melbourne but being too stubborn to pull over... that keeps you awake, I know from experience!

Windows wide open. Stereo full blast, AND sing along to it. AC on full at 18c. Eat, chew gum. Apparently unless you're drunk or similar its near impossible to fall asleep when you're too cold or have food in your mouth.

I've noticed that just having a drink of water will waken me up a bit, but best to just pull over and have a power nap. Driver fatigue is the biggest killer on our roads.

lil 'bad boy' energy booster things... and they claim TURBO drink!

Personally Ive driven from Melbourne to Brisbane a few times and the trick is being cold. Loud music helps but as soon as you get warm you can start to feel sleepy. I know it sounds childish but it works Music that you can sing a long to or something hard hitting that you might even dance to helps. Just keeping your mind active. Seriously if you feel tired pull over. Your not only risking yourself, but whos to say you wont end up going into a car with a family in it in that second of sleepiness. Just take it easy and take your time, getting home half an hour later isnt that bad if you stopped to sleep, your still alive

Toughen up Princess!!!!

at the end of the day, there's a point where none of the above things will do you any good. Nothing but sleep will cure fatigue.

Trust me, I've been to the point where windows down, freezing cold, ridiculously loud music, and even hitting myself in the face (hard) couldn't keep me awake. Almost ended up in the back of a truck, but somehow managed to wake up a split second before I would have hit him.

Place the family jewels into a cup of ice while driving.....

Stay at Shep on Fri night fixes the problem of waking up early on Sat monring.

I've found that driving home in a convoy with a CB is also fun and keeps you occupied hence avoiding the exhaust droney noise.

If all fails, just pull over for a powernap. No point risking injuring yourself or others just trying to get home faster.

Looks like you've got a bit more company for the drive home saturday afternoon now koala...myself, Justin and phil will all be heading back home after DECA, so if you leave after the event is over we can cruise with ya....if i see you falling asleep or moving around on the road, I'll give you a nice shunt

Same here, nearly happened to me out the back of Sunbury back in 2001, lucky just got with it as two wheels went off the dirt... could have been quite nasty otherwise

i find caffiene is only good when i'm 30mins out from home, i feel worse after.

sleep FTW

[BRUNSKIGTST]

1. sleep for 1hour some where

2. take power naps

3. Drink lots of V or red bulls or even the new lipton gurana drink that nice as well

4. those doze tablets.

5. cold shower befor you drive or in a tub of ICE LOLZ

6. drive up and down with a friend or relo

7 HARDEN THE f*kc UP!!!!!!! LOLZ

Drugs

or

Think of it as pulling a double shift at the office. Have smoko every coupe hours, eat something healthy for energy, stretch ur legs, and have a nap halfway....

[justin911]

what about drugs during the double shift ?

[eMsta]

power nap is the best - have done that a couple of times myself.....wake up feeling so refreshed

Record the sound from your favorite porno onto a cd. That should perk you up, or sharpen your mind, or harden you the f**k up!

Hahaha

But yeah, I agree with the pulling over for a drink/smoko every now and then. Stretching your legs and moving around will help keep you awake.
