why is driving so exhausting?

1.32K views

I can understand that you dont have to make physical effort to feel tired, because I work as a computer programmer and I feel tired after making mental effort, but this effort seems way bigger than the one required to drive, yet, after 4,5 hours of driving I feel way more exhausted than after 8,10 hours of coding.

For me personally, it’s the PTSD. I was in two severe accidents within six months of each other. One, we were t-boned, one I was hit from behind by an eighteen wheeler. Neither where my fault, in fact I was the passenger in the first.

But it’s made me even more hyper vigilant than I was before. So the six hour trip to my parents house takes me at least eight. Because it tires me out so much that I can’t go without stopping.
