Lately, I get very drowsy ONLY while I'm driving... Why is that?
Answers: You might want to try eating or drinking something without sugar while driving and see if that helps. Sometimes if you have a blood sugar problem, it becomes more apparent if you are sitting and focusing on something, like driving or working on a computer..
I had the same problem..even had to find a place to pull-off the road and do jumping jacks. Didn't work at all. Then while driving and mid-sentence of a conversation with my kids..I fell asleep driving. We were very Lucky that the screeching of the other cars awakened me.
Later, diagnosed with a form of narcolepsy...it was transient, lasted awhile and resolved itself.
If you ever get drowsy at other times..movies, church , school you may need medical intervention.
There is now a safe medication, (non-amphetamine) given. Maybe you should talk to your med care person ASAP. I only have that problem on longer trips. There is too much to lose, check it out before there is a tragedy to you or others.
I would recommend having your window open if weather permits it. Fresh air helps me stay awake in the car.

Do you get car sick? Maybe you need those little patches that go behind your ear so you wont get car sick. perhaps it has something to do with being tired , "dummy".
