Any tips on staying awake?

I started a new job that runs from 1am-630am, I deliver papers during that time. Its really hard for me to stay awake when the road gets very repeative. I would just drink some coffee or a soda but I can't since I'm nursing my 3 month old son. Any tips that I could use that don't involve caffine?

Answer:
orange oil. chew gum. take a nap right before hand. I do not envy you this job with a new baby.My heart really goes out to you! I now understand your choice, but breastfeeding a 3 month old barely means any sleep in the first place. Good luck, dear!
shower just before you leave for your route, and you'll need to change up your sleep schedule. also that helps me is turning up the music in the car and even turning on the ac, even if it's not hot because the cool air in my face keeps me alert. good luck
That's a tough one. And since you have a baby involved maybe it's best to ask your doctor if there's anything that's safe for both you and your nursing little one.
Well, I guess all you can do is make sure you get as much sleep as possible. Maybe you should consider quitting this job. Is it worth risking getting in a fatal accident??
Probably the most beneficial thing is to get a good uninterrupted eight hours of sleep each day. If your doctor says it's safe, taking melatonin before bedtime for a few days might help you adjust to the new schedule. It's supposed to be good for jet lag, so it might work for this.
Play your radio loud. Keep an iced drink handy to sip on. I drank caffeine diet soda when I was nursing without any deleterious effects. But do what you think is best.
Chew on soft ice.
