Looking for tips on how to endure a 16 hour drive through the night?

My roommate and I are relocating from Central Florida to Dallas Texas in about 2 weeks. We both have cars plus we’re taking a Uhaul trailer hitched to the back so unfortunately we’re going to have to drive one car, fly back and drive the other car. So all in all, two 16 hour drives within 2 weeks. We’re both used to long drives, we drive to New Orleans often which is about 10 hours away. However by the 7th-8th hour, the only thing getting us through is knowing that we’re only a couple hours away. We’re both borderline falling asleep by the end of it so we know 16 hours will be tough.

What are some tips and tricks you guys have found to be helpful on long drives?

We ideally need something to keep us energized. Red Bull and coffee do absolutely nothing for my energy and everything for my small bladder. I know some of these supplements can be unhealthy but is there anything anyone would recommend to take or drink to keep us up? Seriously considering adderral...

We’ve mastered the art of watching movies/shows to pass the time but does anyone know of any car games two 25 year olds can play that don’t suck? We’ve been best friends for 10 years but we’re tired of making our own version of I-Spy....

We’re going to alternate driving duty and have no problem with the other person taking a nap whilst the other person is driving but it’s a lot harder to stay up when you’re driving alone in the dark on the same road for 3+ hours.
