Nope, only when I'm the driver. It feels very hypnotic, if I had to
describe it. When I'm the passenger, I'm awake, awake, awake. I do not
take naps during the day either and am rarely tired, other than driving.
I think it may have something to do with sensitivity to the sun. This
never happens at dusk or early a.m.

>>Dear Teresa my name is Michelle and I too have the same problem especially if I'm in the car alone or driving long distances. Even when I'm not driving I have a problem of falling asleep in the car. I used to think it was because that was how my parents would put me to sleep at night was by driving around until I fell asleep. I'm on 1500mg. Glucophage XR, 2400mg. Ibuprofen, and 20mg. Oxycotin. I may have Endometriosis beside the PCOS and IR diabetes. Contact me anytime @ rumnigurl28@hotmail.com
