Many now cannot imagine their life without a car. It is a convenient, fast and safe means of transportation. But there are enough risk factors. An accident can happen, even if you are an attentive and responsible driver, it may not necessarily be a person sitting in a nearby car or driving towards the car. Also, a long stay on the road, loss of vigilance and the ability to fall asleep while driving a car can pose a great danger.
Sleep is the best cure for fatigue.
Get a good night's sleep before getting ready for a long journey. Go to bed earlier than usual the night before and try to relax. Do not watch TV for a long time or sit in front of a computer monitor, all this excites the nervous system. Better to take a warm bath and go to rest. In the early morning (if the trip falls on this time), a cool shower and exercise will help you to cheer up. Exercise for five or ten minutes. This will be quite enough for the body to wake up and come to its senses.
If on the way the drowsiness begins to prevail, your eyes close, and you feel impending fatigue, try to stop to rest or get some sleep. The most important thing is to close the doors and try to make such stops in places where there is constant movement. Never stand near a forest or in a deserted area.
Time to freshen up
Driving a car will help you cope with impending sleep, fresh air. In winter, it will be enough to open the windows and let in the frost. In the summer, in addition to the included conditioner, add a procedure for wiping your face and neck with cool water or wet wipes. Just in case, stock up on a few thermal water sprays before your trip.
Always have eye drops close at hand to relieve your eyes from intense stress and dryness. During the application of the drops, stop and stand for five minutes for clarity of vision to appear.
Toning drinks
There are a huge number of energy drinks, but it is better not to get carried away with them, since they do not work very well on the human cardiovascular and nervous system. An overdose of products containing a large amount of caffeine can be a big threat, up to hallucinations and even a heart attack.
Music
Listening to music can also distract from the urge to sleep. Put on something groovy and rhythmic, turn it up and sing along. If you are not traveling alone, communicate with your fellow traveler as much as possible.
Food will help
Be sure to take something to chew with you on the road. These may be fruits that you don't need to peel, or peel them ahead of time so you don't get distracted by it while driving. Various candies and lollipops, especially mint ones, will also energize you.
