Find a safe place to stop and rest as soon as possibleThis was the right answer

Sleepiness is a warning to stop and rest in a safe place as soon as possible. Do not speed up or rely on fresh air, music or changing speed to keep you awake. Plan rest stops before the journey; a motorway emergency area or hard shoulder is not a routine rest stop.
