About to start 2 hours drive to home after spending Christmas with the family from my wife’s side. I’m tired and full of food

    Good call. I almost got in an accident a long time ago due to driving while tired. Now I don’t care if I’m even just a half hour from home. I’ll pull over to rest my eyes and grab a coffee or something.

    Also, flexing your leg muscles helps. Push that blood back to the brain like a fighter pilot pulling G’s!

      Absolutely, but I think this is late when you feel sleepy but helps with just being tired!

        Flexing your leg is also a good technique to get rid of unwanted “stiffness” in the groin area, if you catch my drift. This is more relevant to our younger readers, but it helps occasionally as an adult.
