How does our brain know when we’re almost home when we’ve been sleeping the whole car ride?
In: Biology
Agreed with the comment above that driving in the highway creates a more regular pattern of movements and sounds, which is essentially making a person sleepy. Once a car enters the city roads / town streets, the pattern breaks causing a person to become alert. It’s part of our biology since otherwise we all would be very easy prey when asleep.
