In the old days, staying awake was more a matter of life and death, as
you had to manually fly the plane at all times. Today, with
autopilot, you could drift off and survive, if you were lucky. So how
does one avoid it? Or is it just not a good idea to fly long
distances on one's own in an aircraft?

You could break the flight up into shorter hops, landing to walk
around or take a short nap.
Is it legal to listen to music? (I'm not a pilot, so I don't know.)
