Before meds, did you get really freakin tired from driving? - eviltoast

A two+ hour drive would really take it out of me. I would often have to stop and have a 10 minute nap.

I’ve found meds have really helped, I still feel tired, but I don’t have to sleep afterwards or take naps.

Same with riding motorbike, but double. I think it’s the intense concentration for long periods of time.

    Opposite for me. I can get in my car and drive 4+ hours without needing to stop or rest.

    Do you have good posture in your seats? My Outback’s seats aren’t the softest, but they force you to have a really good posture which helps a LOT.

      Used to have an Outback. Not sure on the seats in my Mazda, but I do sit on a towel because after an hour they get pretty dam uncomfortable. I will change seat position sometimes during the drive.

        Have you fiddled with the lumbar support? Also make sure the seat bottom is angled to match the angle of your legs roughly so your weight is (mostly) spread across your butt + legs and not just the back of your butt.
