When I was in my late 20's I was spending a lot of weekends in Dallas driving back of a evening. Always got drowsy on the drive back to OKC. Tried Sugar, Caffine, cold air, etc, and even stopping for a nap nothing really worked.

The problem was I had to be at work the next morning. If I stopped for a nap, I would sleep right thru my alarm and wake up as the sun was coming up. If I didn't over sleep, just 20 minutes or so into the continued drive home would find myself drowsy again.

One trip I had tried candy, coffee, cold air, etc. and nothing was working. On a whim I got a package of beef jerky. Was going to just snack on it and take a nap. But found it really woke me up. Like magic I felt recharged and continued on without the nap. Stayed awake and alert the rest of the way home.

I don't know if it's because it is chewy, or the salt in it or the combination, but it sure works. Has kept me out of the ditches several times since.
