Does the road pass before your eyes closed after a long drive? Help can be provided against this!

After a long drive, drivers are usually very tired, but at the same time also excited. This is perfectly normal, but it can be a bit of a nuisance, especially if you go to bed right after your ride. Then drivers can still see the road below with their eyes closed and find it difficult to fall asleep. However, the simplest means can be used to counteract this.  

Yoga for stretching and distraction

Often it just takes a distraction and a little physical activity to calm the mind. Yoga is ideal for this. In this activity, the focus is shifted to other things without the tired mind having to strain. Yoga distracts the mind without actively thinking.  

In addition, the whole body, especially the back, is stretched in a gentle way. The exercises can be individually adapted by each person, which is why this activity is not limited to athletic or flexible bodies, but is suitable for everyone. Even people with disabilities practice yoga. This helps the body to release the tension that inevitably builds up during a day behind the wheel. Relaxed muscles, in turn, lead to better sleep. 

CBD oil for relaxation and better sleep

Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a component of the cannabis plant that does not cause intoxication or addiction. It is just an active ingredient that is available from Cibdol, for example in the form of capsules, tinctures or CBD oil. Studies have already shown that CBD generally has a relaxing effect on the body, calming the mind after a long journey and making it easier to switch off. Do not confuse it with THC, the component of the hemp plant that makes you high!

More specific effects of CBD include promoting sleep (a natural substitute for sleeping pills), stress relief and anxiety reduction. The body's own endocannabinoid receptors respond to the active ingredient and thus increase the serotonin level in the blood. This is a messenger substance that transmits information in the nervous system and has a great influence on mood, sleep and wake rhythms, as well as on emotions.  

In short: cannabinoid helps the body to calm down and promotes well-being.  

Light food

If you don't go to bed straight away after a drive, you can treat yourself to a light meal. A heavy piece of meat or cheese spaetzle would be counterproductive here, as they only burden the stomach and can also lead to insomnia.  

A lean chicken salad, muesli with yogurt, or similar low-fat meals are ideal after a long drive.  

That too Drinking is very important. Many people consciously or subconsciously refrain from drinking enough during long car journeys in order not to have to stop constantly for toilet breaks. Over the course of the hours, however, dehydration adds up. This is particularly bad in summer when the air conditioning is running in the car. This extracts its moisture from the air and therefore ensures that the driver and passengers dry out through their mucous membranes. Although not a drop of sweat falls, their bodies consume just as much water as an athlete doing cardiovascular training. The water itself is of course best for drinking, but even heavily diluted fruit juices or teas are always a good choice.  

Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
