Health for drivers and couriers: back, sleep and food
Long hours in a car or on a bike take their toll. Simple habits that let you work longer and feel better.
In short
- A break every 2 hours: 5 minutes of movement and stretching.
- Don’t drive tired — drowsiness is as dangerous as alcohol.
- Water and a proper meal instead of coffee and fast food.
01Back and movement
The simplest things that work:
- set your seat so knees are slightly bent and your back is supported
- every 2 hours get out and walk for 5 minutes
- couriers: warm up before a shift and stretch after
- regular exercise — Enigma gives you access to Medicover Sport
02Sleep and fatigue
Drowsiness at the wheel slows reactions just like alcohol. If your eyes are closing, pull over, nap for 15–20 minutes or end your shift. No ride is worth an accident.
03Food and water
Keep a bottle of water and a simple snack in the car or bag: nuts, fruit, a sandwich. A big coffee and sweets give a short boost, then a crash.
