Hmmm 2 hr drive?? wow

What is your pain level on an avg day?
I did do some 3 hr drives, but no sleep study the night before, pain level then was about a 3 or so with Ibuprofen.
I suppose how comfortable your car is to drive will be a big factor and the seat/ steering angles...

any friend, other team parent, other family member available to drive w/you?

Will the sleep study be keeping you awake on purpose or just interfering w/normal sleep?

I guess I am concerned about the possibility of you dozing off more than anything at first , then the possibility of a flare later on.

Safety for yourself and other drivers is the main concern.
And I don't remember if you are on any major pain meds, that might affect you with the additional lack of sleep.

If not then lots of coffee & OTC pain pills for discomfort???
I've never tried any of the 5 hr energy, or drinks like that so can't comment on those.
