[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1274100, member: 42554"] At first it was mentally fatiguing but now its just managing fatigue i.e. sleepiness. Switching back and forth between night and days can be tough, so you develop your sleep skill. You grab it when you can, plan your day around your sleep, sleep on your meal, figure out what works for you. I rarely have to dip into the Rockstar or Redbull anymore. Not munching is tougher to give up (the chewing helps you stay awake). I find I have more issues if I don't exercise at home. There are still some times I find my self stomping my feet in the seat and yelling to wake myself up. Plenty of close calls but they methods will save you most of the time. There is a balance between driving slow in traffic and being dynamic. You have to anticipate who will cut you off (which gets really easy after awhile) and don't be so slow you just invite it. Knowing your equipment will help here. Intersections are huge of course, that 'plan ahead' takes on special meaning. If you don't have good peripheral vision and intuition you will have more close calls. For example, if you are going straight though a light at startup and the you sense the semi next to you slow someone is running the light. [/QUOTE]
