It's a rush, but not something I'd ever want to repeat.
Make sure you get a decent amount of sleep, in a dark room as it'll make one sleep better.
I stopped using the alarm clock, except for the early shift.
It has made me sleep better.
Compared to a constant speed, on relatively flat terrain, CC will normally return better MPG.
You lose out compared to P&G - which is something I'm not prepared to do on long stretches of road. I also won't shut down the engine, so P&G is out.
You also lose out on inclines that are tougher and longer than say a bridge. Though the CC recovers quicker as the incline levels out again.

Maintaining a speed is very monotonous, that is what makes me tired, because its the same damn thing for an hour. Take that out, and i could listen to music more in depth, or think about more things that keep me awake. I could stretch out my legs, etc. I could move around more without affecting the speed, which would also help.
