Pull off the road: Some suggestions: If possible avoid driving between 12MN and 6 AM. Caffeine. Short nap pre driving and a 20-30 min mid drive nap. Avoid alcohol. If possible: Buddy system. It's safer to drive with another and switch drivers every 2 hours. **Severe risk of accidents if drowsy. Learn the warning signs >> http://bit.ly/1N1zSjD
