While riding your bike???
We've made a "couple" of trips across I-70 and on some of those long hauls I've caught myself "dozing".
It startled me so much that I realized that my eyes had actually closed !
I used to be a pepsihaulic, since I don't drink coffee and that was the only way I could get my caffeine. But I gave that up so now I'm caffeine free.
Any suggestions as to how to stay alert on those long flat straight roads with no scenery?
I know you should get off the bike when you start to recognize you're getting sleepy but sometimes that is not a safe option depending on road conditions.
Just thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone else has had the same issue, especially those who do the iron butt rides or any other long distance rides.
