Falling asleep isn’t just an issue for you either. More likely that another driver may fall asleep. That could make an issue for you that you can’t anticipate.

That may be partially offset by less traffic.

Deer are also more active at night making them a bigger threat.

I'm too prone to getting drowsy on long car rides, even when I'm driving during the day

All depends on the driver imo. I get tired so I don’t do it as obviously it’s

It’s not the lack of AC, it’s the sun constantly beating down and just how

If your back gets super sweaty either your AC sucks, or you don’t turn it cold enough, or you’re just a real sweaty guy

Or just drive during the day, wear noise canceling headphones and fix your AC. Or just fly.
