Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it can be narcolepsy or may be genetic in some individuals to fall asleep more frequently than others specially in a steady state with no external stimuli but in any case it's better to avoid driving in such circumstances. Also avoid driving late at night or in early mornings or in timings where a person can doze more frequently.
Also brain stimulants like caffeine in coffee products which at contain amphetamines may help to keep brain active for longer than usual though in higher doses is associated with certain side effects including dependance and cardiac arrythmias.
Avoid driving with full stomach and keep a small slit or place opened in windows pans. Listening to music or other such distractors which may not let you fall asleep easily but also not major distractors to take away your concentration from the road. Avoid travelling alone and prefer to travel with company to remain busy as well as tk get earlier warning if getting dizzy before he and.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
