Correct answer
Avoid long periods at the wheel and stop for adequate rest.
Avoid driving for many hours without adequate rest breaks. If you feel sleepy or fatigued, stop as soon as possible somewhere safe and rest; do not resume until fit to drive. A comfortable temperature can help wellbeing, but neither heat nor stimulants replace rest. Caffeine may temporarily increase alertness without removing the need for rest or guaranteeing safe driving.
