Help staying awake naturally

DannyD · Feb 19, 2010

I'm not sure how true it is. I heard it on the John Tesh show though (insert joke here). Anyway, supposedly having a cinnamon air freshener releases something that naturally keeps ya awake longer.

It didn't work for me.

That would just make me hungry...and I don't need another excuse to eat. When I get a little droopy eyed, I take several slow, deep breaths and it seems to help.

A cold wet rag to the forehead and neck works best for me.

Proper sleep works quite well.

yeah Layout, my thoughts as well. After 7 or 8 hours of sleep, I'm good for the night. That's along with a 4 hour nap....

John who?

It seems that the feds are trying to make sure we get good sleep and what we go through to do so is enough not to try to cheat.

Good sleep

with no interruptions from dispatch

and a proper diet

makes the road a safer place.

wouldn't work for me I hate the smell of cinnamon, but I Guess throwing up from the smell would keep me awake.

Chewing Big Red cinamon gum does work for me, temporarily.Driving with the window halfway down also helps.Loud music, taking a viagra pill, all help also...

I've found that when a big bee comes in ur truck, the shear panic and swatting and screaming and yelling trying to kill the d--n thing will cause a severe case of ( wide awakeness ), not to mention everything on the dash is now in a hundred different places,,,,,,,,lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo

you want to satay awake,ok I gurantee this will keep you up for days,you wont be able to fall asleep,even when you want too.

1st off,stop at the Pilot truck stop,get the biggest bag of potato chips you can find.

next step go back to your truck,get in and start it,now leave the truck stop,this is very important.

get back onto the highway,now here what you do

Take that bag of potato chips and crush them,mangle them,make them in to powder.

unbuton your pants,and now pour those crumbled up potato chips into your shorts.

happy motoring

How can sucking all the blood from your upper head and sending it to your lower head keep you awake?
