How To Catch Some Sleep While On The Road

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Staying awake can become difficult when you are taking a road trip, where you are driving long distances all at once. Plenty of people encounter such tiredness and decide that they will just "push through" until they reach their destination, but it has actually been proven that driving while extremely tired is nearly as dangerous as drunken driving. Even if you only take a 30 minute nap, this can go a really long way in keeping you awake. And since you probably do not want to get a hotel room for a simple thirty minute nap, here are some places to keep in mind for you to pull over and stop. Even if a police officer knocks on your window and asks what you are doing, they will be happy to leave you at peace once you explain what you are doing.

One of the best places for a bit of road sleep is rest stops. Rest stops, of course, vary from state to state. But in many states, rest stops are off the road and are very quiet. Keep in mind, however, that rest stops may not be the best option at night. Even though most of these places have some form of security, those secluded rest stops off the road can be dangerous after dark. However, during the day, these are definitely good places for some sleep.

Travel plaza parking lots are another great place for sleep. While there might be more traffic buzzing in and out, the parking lots of these places are usually large enough to allow you to find a quiet corner. Kick back in your chair, make sure your alarm is set, and get some good sleep! These places are also great, and quite safe, to sleep at during the night.

Finally, if it is nighttime and you cannot find a travel plaza nearby, consider sleeping in a hotel parking lot. No one is likely to bother you in such places, as there are so many cars around you, and you can get some good sleep and feel rested to get back on the road.

You can keep both yourself and other drivers safe just by making a bit of an effort and finding a good place for a short, refreshing nap before getting back on the road.
