what can you do so you don't risk falling asleep Page 6

If you’re nodding off at the wheel, you’re not a hero—you’re a hazard.

Pull over somewhere safe and take a 15–20 minute power nap; a quick caffeine hit just before the nap can help when you wake.

Stop for a break every 2 hours, swap drivers if you can, and keep the cabin cool rather than toasty.

Don’t trust loud music, open windows or slapping yourself—those tricks fail right when you need them most.

If you’re chronically tired, delay the trip and get proper sleep; no destination is worth a microsleep on the M1.
