What is the recommended method to prevent drowsiness on long trips?

• A. Stop and rest periodically
• B. Drink energy drinks continually
• C. Listen to loud music
• D. Drive with the windows closed

Answer: (A)

Preventing drowsiness on long trips is about giving your body regular chances to rest and reset your alertness. Stopping and resting periodically directly tackles fatigue by allowing you to nap briefly, stretch, and refresh, which restores reaction time and focus for the road ahead. The other options only offer short-lived or unreliable help: energy drinks may provide a temporary boost but won’t prevent sleepiness and can lead to a crash later; loud music might wake you briefly but isn’t a dependable way to stay alert; driving with the windows closed reduces fresh air and can worsen fatigue, making you less attentive.
