got 3 hours of sleep the previous night and had to work at 5 am. left my house at 4, radio off for once, cruize control on and fell asleep and drifted into a guard rail.....

 

Damn dude dont push yourself

 

**** that sucks. You're lucky it wasn't worse.

 

well they ****** changed the whole plants hours. i was on 2nd shist workin 3pm-11pm mon-fri now im on weekend workin fri sat sun 5am-530pm

 

sorry to hear that but glad you are okay, but get some rest lol

 

been there, done that....glad you're not hurt

 

well i sleep in on my days off but its my sleeping pattern. i hate goin to bed early....

 

Glad you're not hurt. I've driven before with little to no sleep before, but I never let myself consider falling asleep. A good caffeinated beverage, or even a good hefty slap to the face (by yourself or others) will wake you right up.

 

could of been way worse man!

 

ya i usually will have my music on drinkin a mountain dew roll down the window or something but i didnt 1 time and what happens? well you know..... anyone who wants a little lesson on body work will post pics as i fix

 

Lucky there was a guard rail and not oncoming traffic.

stay safe.....

 

i swear it was the only spot where they dont have those strips that are supposed to wake you up

 

Damn dude. Could have been worse though...


When I drive on little/no sleep, I always drink a caffeinated beverage and blast some hardcore rock. No chance of falling asleep.

 

get some eyedrops. *drop drop* and will help ya wake up pretty well. at least for a lil while til ya can get where ya going.

 

if i was you i would take a nice nap. lol

 

I've never fallen asleep but my dad did once. While returning to his lab from N. Mississippi, he nodded off and woke up 2 hours later, still driving, about 100 miles in the wrong direction.

And as everyone else says, someone's really looking out for you.

 

ive fallen asleep at the wheel before...it SUCKS...although i totalled the jeep i was in.
you wont fall asleep again in the future...just getting close will scare the **** outa you

 

eh itll buff out.........just put some duct tape down the whole car and bondo over it......

 

Ouch, poor TC. They are correct it could have been much worse. Hopefully your insurance doesn't go up much.

 

im not goin through insurance....cant afford it to go up hense the duct tape

 

Usually when I feel tired I put down the windows and turn the radio on load and play music that gets you going.

 

i didnt "feel" tired though thats the thing

 

this is why i'm scared to go to work. i get up at 4:30-5am mon-fri and drive 45 minutes to work on a 70mph speedlimit highway. but we don't have any gaurdrails.

 

ya good thing i know a body guy. should be fixed by next fri......

 

try sleeping in a bed man but sorry for the bad news
