Unless you are driving, you dont do anything but sleep, eat and watch movies and we still get so tired.

As someone who has personally spent 10’s of thousands of hours on the highway, here’s my take.
It’s a lot of ‘mental’ work to travel.
Eyes on the lines, other cars, looking for animals, corners for bicycles, kids, stupid people, random shit in the road, cops, bad weather, shitty traffic, it all adds to the mental load. Not to mention havin to be aware of your position, Mile marker and exit numbers for your turn offs. It adds up fast.
After a while, fatigue sets in just from being hyper aware of your surroundings for an extended period.
It’s extremely important to remained as relaxed and chill as possible when driving long distance, the stress agitates the exhaustion.
