What can you do about highway hypnosis?
First, be aware that it can happen.

Then here are some tips:
D Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a

comfortably cool interior.

D Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and

to the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.

D If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service

or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
