I'm assuming something salty. On the topic, while in Canada looking for snacks for for the 12-hour car ride home, I saw lots of chips labelled as being *dressed.* A glance at the ingredient list wasn't of any help. Do you know what dressed chips are? Thanks! |

I just read that NJ made a law against driving tired. So if you fall asleep at the wheel and kill someone in an accident, you can be tried for murder...

I drove from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Philladelphia, PA in a straight shot once...22 hours. The first 15 or so weren't that bad..the rest was a nightmare. I made a huge mistake by eating a literal handful of NO-Doz and pounding a Mountain Dew big slam. For about fifteen minutes it felt like my eyes were coming out of my head...the next few hours I hallucinated heavy...My advice for long distance trval would to NOT drink caffeine...you become dependent on it...you gotta pull over to buy more and use the pissoir...ultimately messing with your pace. Be well rested and just go for it...with good tunes of course.

I drink plenty of water (with the odd coffee in there), have trail mix to snack on, and listen to talk radio.
I find talk radio to be more stimulating mentally than music. I get drowsy faster listening to music.

Since you have to drive solo... try bringing a cell phone and having someone you know you can call and talk to. A little mental stimulation will wake you up for a little while at least. Also everyone says get out and stretch... gas stations work best for me... again a little conversation. Make a game out of anything.. letters, numbers, people.. just think about something other than another mile of the same boring interstate.
