Answer 1

Oh yes, that was me up until a few months ago. They actually think I may have narcolepsy. I would even slap myself in the face to try and stay awake on the way to and from work. The worst was when I actually fell asleep standing up at work one day. That's when the Dr's decided it was too dangerous for me to drive anymore. It sucks but that's the way it goes. Hey, stay awake and be careful out there.

Answer 3

Simple Man ... Yes, I surely hate that. I hope you're not feeling that way today/now. In my case, it turned out that I had sleep apnea and that's why it was happening all the time. After getting my condition corrected, feeling sleepy while driving has happened very, very rarely. By the way ... If this tiredness is happening to you all the time, might you have apnea too? Check it out ... You'll be glad you did. Good luck.

Everyone struggles during their lifetime. Most people cannot sleep well due to personal pressure and anxiety. But we must get used of it.
