If you find yourself tired on the road
and you don’t have someone to spell you
or your driving companions are sleepy
or animals or children
or “only know how to drive automatic”
or some other lame excuse,
and you’re at serious risk
of falling asleep on the road,
lean into the sleep.

Just close your eyes
and get napping,
but don’t half-ass it.
Don’t say to yourself,
“I’ll only rest for a second at this stoplight.”
No, nap on the curve. Get to work on this sleep.
Get your dream on.

That’s the trick!
As soon as you dreaming,
Morpheus’ll take over, and your dreams
will have you driving fine in no time.

Haven’t you had driving dreams before?
How’d you do?
See? It’ll be fine.
It’ll be fine!

Just get to bed on the road,
and we can test this theory out,
and you can let me know how this goes,
so I can figure out it this study is worth pursuing.

Thanks in advance!
