why is driving so exhausting?

2.97K 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, it’s because I have to be attentive. Driving requires your constant attention and constant concentration.

So to combat it, I usually double the speed limit. I get home in half the time, I’m too busy paying attention to holes in traffic to be on my phone, and the fear of crashing keeps the adrenaline going.
