I hear ya', Danny. I drove 1,400 miles a couple weeks ago and the age issue became apparent when I had to stop twice and nap for a couple hours. As little as 5 years ago, I would have turned that non-stop, or 1 stop for a 2 hour nap.
I never stop to sleep at night, I always time my route to drive thru the night and sleep sunrise to whenever. I park in open lots where people will be going in and out to discourage any activity in daylight.
As for food, most of the big truck stops now have fast food and convenience stores attached with plenty of well lit parking while going it to get food. I always eat in the truck, unless I have a clear line of site to the trailer.
