Buddy drove up the Alaska Highway from Seattle last year in a Eurovan
with the rear bed by taking 5-6 hour shifts with his father-in-law and
sleeping on the off shifts. Yikes!

Wife's co-worker works graveyard.  Takes prescription provigil
(non-stimulant amphetamine?) for the 5 hour commute home and switch to
days off.

Will in Alaska.
