6. Tips to Overcome Drowsiness During Mudik Travel

Feeling drowsy while driving is very dangerous and can lead to unwanted fatal accidents. It is important to always ensure that your body is in prime condition before embarking on a long journey. Here are some tips to overcome drowsiness during your trip home:

• Get Enough Sleep Before Driving: Make sure to get enough hours of sleep before the trip. If you don't have time to rest, a short nap of 15-30 minutes (power nap) can help refresh your body.
• Drink Coffee or Caffeinated Beverages: Caffeine can help maintain alertness when your eyes and body are already tired. The effects of caffeine are usually felt about 30 minutes after consumption, but limit your intake to no more than four cups a day.
• Pull Over and Take a Short Nap (Power Nap): If drowsiness becomes unbearable, pull over to a safe place (like a rest area, gas station, or prayer room) and take a short nap for 15-20 minutes. It’s better to spend time taking a short nap than to force yourself to drive with great risk.
• Do Light Stretching: After a short nap or when feeling tired, do some muscle stretching and walk around for about 10 minutes to help keep your mind alert.
• Engage Other Passengers in Conversation: Interacting with friends or family can help maintain alertness and distract from drowsiness.
• Play Music: Listening to your favorite music can stimulate the brain and enhance mental alertness; singing along can also help.
• Avoid High Saturated Fat Foods: Foods high in saturated fat can trigger excessive drowsiness.
• Open the Car Window Slightly: Fresh air circulation can help reduce drowsiness.
• Use Eye Drops: If your eyes feel tired or dry, eye drops can help moisturize and reduce drowsiness.
• Avoid Drowsiness-Inducing Medications and Alcohol: Do not consume medications that have drowsiness side effects (such as cold or flu medicine) or alcoholic beverages before or while driving.
• Adjust Your Driving Time: Avoid driving close to your bedtime as your body is already accustomed to resting at that time.

7. Choose Songs with a Moderate Tempo for Driving Concentration

The ideal music to listen to while driving is that which has a tempo similar to the human heartbeat, which is 60-80 beats per minute (bpm). A moderate tempo or moderato is highly recommended to maintain concentration.

This rhythm keeps the heartbeat stable and provides the necessary stimulation for the brain to avoid boredom, without being too upbeat to distract focus. Many Indonesian pop songs have a relaxed and soothing rhythm that is suitable for maintaining concentration while driving.

Although not all pop songs are explicitly categorized as "moderate tempo" in the context of classical music, their chill vibe is just right. For more details, check here KLovers:
