I don't have sleep apnea; the steady drone of the car relaxes me enough that I fall asleep. When I *have* to drive long distances I don't have a problem staying awake. My best driving is in the morning, when I'm wide awake and rested. And caffeinated.
As I understand it, you enjoy a nap as a
passenger. However, when you drive, "I don't have a problem staying awake."

drive a car for long distances (two hundred or more miles) I drink coffee/sports drinks to stay awake. "
Somehow I missed your point. Driver . . . passenger - two very different activities.
