Sleeping Volcano |
Yesterday I had a long drive and didn't get a good night's sleep the night before. I left around 6am and had a 4 hour drive. After driving an hour and a half I felt really drowsy. The day before I was very tired while driving and almost nodded off three times. The day before I went past my exit because I was tired. Yesterday I was worried about it in the morning and knew I had to figure out something. I carry my camera with me and usually stop every half hour or so to take pictures so I don't get tired. A few months ago a guy I work with suggested I try some ROCKSTAR to help me stay awake. I don't like drugs or any kind of stimulant to enhance my performance, that includes staying awake.

I stopped and picked up some ROCKSTAR. Some people drink Red Bull, some people drink coffee, some people drink Rockstar. I was not proud of myself that I had to drink it, but once I drank the Rockstar I was much more alert and in fact I felt better about myself. I have been depressed some this month for personal reasons and I found that drinking Rockstar made me undepressed as well as untired. I will never use anything often to make me untired or undepressed, but I'm glad there is something when I need it. I know there are other ways to take care of these kind of problems. Like I say I find if I stop often to take pictures it helps me stay awake. I haven't been running much lately and that helped me sleep and feel better about myself so maybe I should do that.
I look at any substance you take to improve yourself as a drug. Some people drink coffee, some people take sleeping pills, some people smoke cigarettes, some people drink Rockstar, some people drink alcohol. Those things can be good if they help you in certain ways, but not good if you do it more than once a week. If you do it more than once a week than you need to figure out a better way to make the change you want. Illegal drugs are illegal and no one needs to be breaking the law. I really don't understand why people take mind altering drugs. Pot, heroin, crack, speed, even alcohol are used to change the state of your mind. I don't drink often and I have never used an illegal substance. I can act stupid without a foreign substance.
