2. Chew sugar-free gum. Chewing sugar-free gum, preferably cool and slightly sour gum, can make your mouth move and your body busy. Chewing gum can improve the driver's positive mood and feeling. According to very professional drivers, they all use this trick to prevent dozing off during long-distance work. Never eat sugar, because after sugar intake, blood sugar will soar rapidly, and then fall back, which will immediately cause drowsiness. It's similar to being angry and wanting to sleep.
3. Apply cool oil to your nose. Applying cool oil to the nose and then sucking it through the nose can directly stimulate the brain, thus driving away drowsiness. It is said that older drivers prefer this way. I wonder if there is any special reason.
4. Drink energy drinks. Drinking caffeinated drinks in the car, such as red bull and coffee, can refresh you.
5. Drink salt water. In view of the common drowsiness during high-speed driving in summer, the doctor suggested that car owners drink 500~ 1000ml of sugar brine (salt accounts for 0.9%, sugar accounts for 5%) before departure to supplement the water and electrolyte lost by sweating. Of course, the prescription prescribed by traffic researchers is to sleep 15~20 minutes after driving for more than four or five hours, and walk outside the car, instead of just resting for 45 minutes as required. In addition, it is best for car owners to rest for more than 20 minutes before driving after lunch, which can effectively prevent drowsiness after meals.
