However, I do have a problem with driving for more than an hour, in that my eyes (and brain) get really tired. I have to take a 20 minute nap during the trip. Maybe something to think about for another subliminal

That. What are you referring to with the subliminal suggestion? I don't understand.

Sorry, my finals aren't allowing my brain to function properly. I think it has something to do with eye strain. I also get really tired when I read, too. Anything that forces me to use my eyes to the exclusion of almost everything else. I know people who can read for hours on end. I know people who can drive for hours on end (semi drivers). So I don't know why I'm getting the eyestrain that causes me to have to take at least a 20 minute nap after 2 hours of driving?

Is it possible that you hyperfocus? Hyperfocus requires a huge amount of mental energy. I do that a lot when I am working.
