right, but while you're thinking about that, you're not thinking about what the other (texting) arsehles on the road are doing.

I know, I've done it myself on long roadtrips. My rule is, the minute I think about the need to keep my eyes open, wake beest up to keep me awake until we find the next exit with a motel. and if it's more than 10 minutes, we pull over and he drives.

and we're usually in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night on a straight road. Driving sleepy is a stupidly dangerous thing to do.
