why is driving so exhausting?

1.33K 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.

It’s the monotonous motion. Mesmerizing lines,lights, trees, cars trucks vans semis.
The light of the sun flashing through the trees creating a strobe light effect.
The human body isn’t made to sit for long periods.
I like driving in my new truck or my wife’s van but I hate sitting shotgun. The seat sits lower on both vehicles. And me being tall makes my legs hurt in such a way.
That’s why I hate long driving. I love maps, direction roads and map reading without using gps
