I tend to get sleepy when I drive long distances.
It's why I have an adderall prescription for commuting.

Keeps me alive on the freeway, fan or window.
I currently have no AC in the truck and have not for two years. The
window down is cooler.

I cannot sleep without a fan and it blows across my body, not my face. I
sleep with a comforter and PLENTY of air comes in under the door (about
a 1" gap) and we keep the house fan running all the time so more air
from the hallway comes in thru the vent.

I doubt I'm in any danger. ;-) Been sleeping with a fan now for 22 years.
