Is it bad that I am dreading the drive home?

As everyone knows from my incessant whining, I slept very little last night.  I have a little over 30 minute drive home at 3.  I am dreading it because I absolutely can NOT keep my eyes open right now.  

Any tips on how to stay wide awake?  Especially seeing I am about to have to go sit through a boring meeting.

    I suggest you take a nap either in your car or on your desk prior to driving home.  For your safety and that of others....

    I am drinking coffee right now.  I hate coffee.  I am chugging it like I am at a college drinking party as we speak.

    I have a bag of trail mix that I plan on chowing down on as I drive as well.  And it is super chilly here today so the windows down will help.  I might attempt a power nap before I leave (if I can get out of here quick enough).  Traffic gets super bad if you leave past 3:30 and then the drive takes close to 2 hours.

    I stay awake by staying cold.  Windows open a bit (as long as it's not pouring, which it could be).  And caffeine.

    Edit: Someone beat me to both!  Sorry.

    I just drank a cup of coffee.  I hate coffee, but it typically makes me so hyper I actually can't sit still.  I will probably drink another cup before I leave.  I am going to crash and burn so badly once I get home.

    I hate coffee too.  Another thing I do is move my eyes around a lot.  Still looking at the road of course.  Drive home safely!

    This might not help today, but I have an hour commute each way every day, and I use audiobooks to help me get through it.  i have found that even if I'm tired, the books keep me interested and awake and, the bonus, it makes the drive FLY by!

    I think I might be too late to the party, but I like to sing in the car. It helps me stay awake and keeps my mind from drifting too much. Best of luck getting over the tired!
