If you have a big trip home, make sure to give your food plenty of time to digest and fill up your travel mug with some coffee. If you know you will be traveling late, try putting a peppermint or cinnamon air freshener in your car. Studies suggest that the smell of peppermint or cinnanom may help keep drivers stay alert while traveling (insurance.c om)
