    Why does a Sprinter put me to sleep

    Is it the soothing drone of the 2.7 diesel? Is it the gentle lulling motion as the wind rocks me? The soft seats and comfortable driving position? Or do I have an exhaust leak? 6 hours today and I was getting sleepy. Same last 2 days. Just wondering, I'll read responses later I need a nap
