    i gave up smokeless tobacco five years ago but with the new OTR driving I’ll be doing, I need something to keep
    Me awake in addition to a nap. Coffee and soda do not work for me but I was wondering about a vap pen.

    Thoughts?

    Nothing is better than sleep, healthy diet, and some activity.

    If you can not stay awake with out chemical assistance please find another career.

    You can live without your lips, can’t live without your lungs.

    Sunflower seeds work best for me. There's something instinctive that gets triggered when you are eating stuff or have stuff in your mouth so you don't choke on it.

    I used to smoke a pack a day plus a giant fountain soda beside me at all times. Now it's a case of water in front of the passenger seat, a box of toothpicks and a pack of gum in an apartment above me, and a bag of apples behind me. You'd be surprised what munching on an apple will do to you if you get a little drowsy!

    Here’s the problem with some of these posts, and it seems to run rampant in this industry. Non relevant replies to a post. The post was seeking an answer to a inquiry not a commentary.

    What I mean specifically is what I or anyone should or should not do. I / we can make that descion by ourselves.

    No the problem is people expect an answer approving the decision they have already made. When people point out what a horrible decision it is, folks get all snowflake whining mo kne is answering tham.

    The nicotine is just a bad idea in that it tends to cause insomnia, which is the last thing you need. You want the sleep patterns of a homeless derelict who can sleep anytime, anywhere.
    I run nights and only drink cold water or black coffee and I don't snack. Some guys have no concept of being hungry ever as they are always shovelling something down their cake hole. A little hunger keeps you awake and allows you to maintain your girlish figure:D

    You are not understanding and further debate is pointless. No need for baseless assumptions. Have a good day and thanks for sharing.
