Powernap

Everywhere you drive you are advised by roadsigns that sleeping kills and that if you feel tired to stop and 'Powernap'. There are even designated or recommended powernap areas. I suppose it makes sense in such a vast country where long journeys are commonplace. I had my first 'powernap' recently but found it very scary. I was feeling very drowsy so I pulled in to one of the areas and took a quick nap. When I awoke, my first thought was that I had fallen asleep at the wheel. It frightened the living daylights out of me. I had no problem staying awake after that! The powernap certainly worked for me, but I am not sure that this was the idea.
