DO you ever fall asleep at the wheel?

[biteme]

I dozed off probably 5 times on the 35 minute drive home. Everytime it happens, it's only for a second or so, but it's kind of scary because no matter how hard you try not to after doing it once, you do it again, and sometimes again and again. I guess I need more than 5 to 5.5 hours of sleep per night. Damnit.

Yep. Did it once. Scared the fuck out of me and the people with me.

I'd have it sometimes on long drives, usually the freeway, where I would start to drop my head and then the feel of the road would snap me back awake. To counter this I would turn up the music really loud and start shouting/singing/stick my head out the window (especially in freezing temperatures)/head bang/etc. and after a half hour or so I'd be good to go for another few hours.

did it when I was 15 driving to my SATs.. I had to drive about 45 mins to get to where the test was.. and the test was at 8am... i didn't want to risk being late at all so I left at 6am.. was up just after 5am but I stayed up till 1am studying..

so on the way there I'm driving and falling asleep... I had no idea what to do .. I didn't drink coffee or anything at that age.. I was slapping myself.. had the windows down.. air blasting.. anything but I kept falling asleep and nearly ran off the road.

I got the to SAT place at 7am.. a fucking hour early and tired as shit.. so I slept in my truck.. I woke up at 7:55 because I heard people outside my truck.. i got out and ran to the classroom where my test was being held.

Ended up getting a great score so it all worked out ok.. only missed 2 math questions... i loved SAT math, so easy.

At the end of a 16 hour marathon drive by myself.

Did not have any problems driving back from Florida, but a roundtrip to NYC with a stop over to a party set me up for trouble. Got within 70 miles of home - and started hitting the rumble strips on the side of the road.

I sleep good usually. I just don't like to go to bed. I'm trying to adjust to 5 hours per night, but I guess I need more. I didn't do shit tonight. Laid down at 6 pm and didn't get up till ater 10.

Rowel down the window and hold a hundred dollar bill out it. That should do it.
