How to keep yourself awake while driving

I always fall asleep when I drive, even if it's just a few miles home from work. I've developed ways to stay awake. Here's how.

Things You'll Need

  • Car, long road, gum, music, phone, imagination.
  • Realize that you are falling asleep.

  • Turn on music and start singing to it. You'll look like an idiot of course, but it's better than looking dead from an accident.

  • Chew gum. Don't just put it in your mouth, make sure you are chewing it.

  • Call a friend. Talk about silly things. Find a friend that let's you do the talking, instead of just listening. It won't help.
