It's more in pacing yourself rather than feeling like a passenger. How often do you stop and rest? That interval is different for most people. My uncle has to stop and rest every 2 hours. Me, every 8 hours which is near the time to refuel anyway. But when I was younger, I can drive up to 19 hours straight, stopping only for gas and food.

If you start yawning then it's time to find a rest area/gas station and take a break. You can try caffeine pills. But, that may upset your stomach later. Playing some heavy metal/rock or goa trance will also keep you awake. That's why my music tastes include a heavy dose of those two genres. I spent a good part of my life driving long distances.
