Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 31, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

That is true to an extent but cycling by it's nature also keeps you awake and alert in a way that driving doesn't. The lingering effect isn't that strong and I've never been worried in the slightest or close to an accident when biking. In a car people start drifting off by just being regular tired.

Furthermore, it's not the high stress environment that is the highest risk imo, it's when you're in steady pace traffic.

In the end this is something one has to figure out for oneself and it depends on how one reacts to the medication and being careful is prudent. Smaller doses are advisable anyway and they significantly reduce risk and severity of morning drowsiness.

definitely makes sense, more than what I expected to be reasoning (that on bicycle hitting others will cause much lesser harm), thanks for clarifying

(I have quite limited experience with car driving)
