I usually do the gum thing and listen to audiobooks.

Since I started listening to audiobooks I have not had a sleepy incident behind the wheel

I started listening to the audio books in the car when it used to take me a 2 hour commute each way in rush hour traffic to take what would be a 20 minute drive if there was no traffic.

It wasn't sleep but pure anger at being stuck in so much traffic. I needed a different type of distraction because the radio personalities had even started to irritate me.

They can definitely keep your attention without messing up your alertness on the road.

Re: Staying Alive between Rest-Stops while driving.

LOL. They definitely did help because I know there were some days when I wanted to just turn off the ignition and go sit down on the side of the road somewhere.

I have satellite, but it doesn't seem all that to me either. The only thing I really like about it is being able to see the song title and artist. Come to think of it, I don't even know when I last listened to it. Might have to cut that off; that's extra gas money I'm wasting.
