How Do I Remain Awake While Driving Back From Deca?

[West]

Ok,

Its pretty much 10/10 that everytime driving back from DECA, i will suffer fatigue.

*Waking up in the morning for DECA is hard but i can cope.

*Driving up to DECA from meeting point take as long as driving back but its exciting so i can still cope.

*Driving back from DECA is BAD. Its in the late arvo, its a long stretch and its boring and i could not cope.

I think Dilma (spelling? Vic member with 33gtr) drove back with me once and he withnessed the whole thing, i was all over the road.

So the question is How can i remain awake while driving back? I tend to leave a little bit earlier than everyone else but STILL. I don't want to stay back at Shepp as i don't want to cope with Brisby/Mav drunkenness, noisy, running around naked.......JUST KIDDING !

drive, get tired, pull over, sleep. wake up, drive, get tired, pull over, sleep. and so on.

or harden the f**k up ...

either will do the trick koala

just have a power nap in someone's room for an hour or so before you leave shepp in the afternoon

or even pull over and have a short sleep in the car, if your tired, its very easy to have a quick 15 minute sleep

it will reivive you quiet a lot and clear away any drowsyness. there's no excuse really, just have a quick sleep

welcome to have a quick sleep in my room in the afternoon if you want before you leave

we go out for dinner around 6:30pm ish so you can sleep well until upto then

tablets called NO-Doze you can get em at servo's,,,,, they are just caffiene tablets

and do a nice job of keeping you mentally allert..... i use em when driving from brisbane to south coast NSW that and the 'V' energy drinks do a good job,,,,,, load music and anything to keep your mind on the job will do the trick everyone has a different way of focusing. and just need to find something that works....... and if all fails...... don't push it pull over and have a nap..... and allow for this time when planning the trip home.... don't rush bad things will happen

hope this helps

Thanks for the offer Paul, i'd rather go and have dinner with you guys than sleeping and go home.

Sleep before going. As said, even 15 minutes will help. Buy yourself some Red Bull or V drinks. have a No-Doze as well. Keep your windows down for fresh air, blast some music and force yourself to sing along. Keep some lollies in the car for sugar.

All these things will help a bit but sleep > all.

Pat Benetar Greatest Hits and turn up the volume. So gay but will get you home in one piece.

Or since i am not going to this DECA, how about just staying up there for the night!

How about you come to DECA and teach me how to steer my Hair Dresser car ?

and when sleep is iminent 'all fired up'...

[Do-Luck]

Have a can of "Harden the f**k Up"

Nah, in all seriousness, the best thing you could probably do is just pull over for powernaps. I find energy drinks etc, don't really do too much for me.

.........or Craig will look after ya

haha..yes driving with a group of cars helps too

[R31Nismoid]

Stay up the night before.

Saves you getting up a pre-sparrow fart in the morning. You can roll out of bed at your normal time, have a 10min drive and thats it.

Much better IMO than a full day trip which is risky

Another vote for the 'powernap' here, I drive from Melb to Sydney a bit and get tired occasionally, just pulling over in one of the rest areas for half an hour or so and having a sleep helps a lot.
