Today is your day Boomer! Recently a driver fell asleep at the wheel and got into an accident on BC's famed Coquihalla Highway. He rolled his vehicle several times and was lucky to escape with minor injuries. Obviously, it could have been alot worse. When I drive, I find I get drowsy in the early-to-late afternoon and I pass off the responsibility to my wife. Here are some more tips from Health Encyclopedia: "Never drink and drive. Alcohol reduces your driving ability and worsens tiredness. It's also illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol. If possible, don’t drive long distances alone. If you have a companion on your drive, you’ll have someone to talk with. Plus you can take turns driving. Get enough shut-eye. You’re more likely to nod off at the wheel if you have slept for less than 8 hours the night before. Don’t begin a trip so late that you’re driving when you usually sleep. Start when you’re fresh and alert. Watch your posture. Hold your head up and don’t slouch. Take a break at least every 2 hours. Stop in a place that is safe and well-populated to walk around and stretch. Have 2 cups of a caffeinated drink like coffee, if you can have caffeine". Other people also tell me that they open windows for fresh air and play loud music to help stay awake. Boomers, many of us are on medications that could lead to drowsiness. We have to be smart about this! Cheers.
