Truck Driver’s- How to Fall Asleep Quickly


Driving a truck for 11 hours a day or more 5-7 days a week can get exhausting. Although being up different times a day in different time zones can cause your body to be off balance. If you are having trouble drifting off to sleep at night or day. Here are a few quick ways you can fall asleep quickly?

 Following a regular sleep schedule would help with the problem. However since a trucker’s schedule is unpredictable your only choice is to take a relaxing shower! Take a cooler in the summer and a warmer one during the winter.

 Try to stay away from food and beverage that contain sugar and caffeine. These items interfere with sleep.

 Buy yourself a comfortable pillow and invest in a good bed-set “bed in the bag” from Wal-Mart or Targets works well. I know it’s a big rig! But hey you need to sleep so make your truck as comfortable as your bedroom at home. Invest in the bed in the bag, you won’t regret!
Make your environment comfortable, the truck should be kept dark, quiet, and not too warm or too cold. Get rid of noises. I know at the truck stops it could be disturbing people banging on your door and lets not forget about the “lizards.” Pull your curtain, turn on a fan and wear ear plugs.

 If this doesn’t help, breathe deeply. Inhale until your lungs are full, pause a few seconds then exhale completely. By doing this about 10 times and now you should be starting to fall into the sleep zone.

 Don’t rob your body of any sleep you want be any good if you are moody, tried and stressed out.

 Be Inspired!!!

People don’t have a clue about being a wife of a trucker. They look at you like you got it made. “As if!” Being a trucker’s wife is a hard job.  Being a trucker’s wife and a mother on top of that is even harder. Not only do the wife have to muli-task, housework, laundry, run errands, pay the bills, when and if she receives a check from her husband. But, she also has the task of caring for the needs of their children school work, cooking, after school activities. In if she has an outside job Lord help her. A trucker wife has to manage and balance the income while her husband is away. She has to do the oil changes on the cars, any repairs that need to be meet, and let’s not forget about that forest that grows in the front yard yes, “mow the lawn.” She has to be a mom and dad to the children, along with running her husband errands. A trucker wife has to make sure things run as smooth as possible while her better half is on the road. A trucker’s wife dream of a fairy tale marri
