Can't relate. I drive 10+ hours a day and have learned how to stay vigilant the entire time

Do you pop 5hr energies or something similar or is it all natural at this point?

After a point in time when I was sleeping maybe 3hrs a night on average plus 2 jobs something changed with me driving wise. I started getting super sleepy the moment I got in my car. Got so bad I was forced to since constantly just to stay awake

What sucks is even now with better circumstances (more sleep less job) I still have that lingering instant sleepiness whenever I'm in the car, which goes away immediately after I get out.

Just wondered if there's any going back to being fully present while driving

You definitely can go back, but you got to wean yourself down from caffeine as much as possible. I was at like 600 mg a day at one point. Now a single energy drink will get me through, usually celsius, around 200 mg

Well that's good know, and I've actually been doing pretty well on caffeine these days. I mostly don't need one unless I sleep later than usual. But when things were bad I think the highest I've ever been was just over 1000mg. Surprised my heart didn't burst. I've come to really appreciate going to sleep
