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.

    Interesting. Before I got my license, I was really worried I would have trouble focusing on driving. As it turns out for me I love doing it and actually seek it out. I kinda hyperfocus when I do it so I’m able to keep going for hours.

    If anything, I feel refreshed after a nice drive. That said, if it’s straight highway for hours it’s a different story. I’ll need to rest after a long road trip. Especially if it was understimulating.
