highway hypnosis. A light hypnotic state induced by the monotony of driving a motor vehicle, usually on long, straight roads uninterrupted by crossings, municipalities or other visually distracting factors; it most commonly occurs in a background of fatigue.
Iâve logged about 4,000 road miles (all solo) in the last few weeks, most of it in stunningly monotonous landscape. Fortunately, Iâve never fallen asleep at the wheel, but Iâve definitely had to pull over for a power nap on a number of occasions in the past. Highway hypnosis is a trance-like mental state brought on by the monotony of the road. In other words, youâre zoning out, and while one part of your brain is still able to operate your car, the other half is in la la land. If youâve ever driven a stretch of highway and have no memory of it, youâve had white line fever, baby.
