Have you ever been driving when all of the sudden you realize that you're absolutely exhausted and zoning out in a way that you never would have expected? I mean, it's completely terrifying. I've unfortunately found myself in that situation a few times over the past couple of years, and I have to thank the overwhelming amount of coffee shops in the tri-state area for saving me a couple of times. Comedians can make all the jokes they want to about how there's a Starbucks on every corner or whatever, but man, it's been helpful on more than one occasion.

If only I had federally mandated rest periods the way that this guy did, I would not only avoid this situation, but also have an excuse to get some solid naps in at a moments' notice and without anyone questioning me or my motives.
