Former long range trucker here. You can knock that drive out in three days if you go for it. This advice mostly applies to N. America.
Trip plan trip plan trip plan. Where are you getting gas, food, and lodging? Spending 15min per meal to figure out where you're going and what you're having adds up quick. Picking gas stations at random can backfire, some are quite aways off the freeway and can suck 30mins out of your day. All these little, seemingly minor delays add up quickly. Could easily add hours to your total drive time if you're not careful.
Rest areas are your friends. Easy off, easy on. Picnicking areas, usually cleaner restrooms than gas stations. You can sleep in your car there too.
Entertainment wise I was always partial to audiobooks. Obviously I couldn't play steam deck while driving, but audiobooks allow you to take in the scenery as well. May I recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, Murderbot, and the Bunny Mcgarry series?
Be safe! If you get the feeling you're too tired to drive you probably are, pull over. Good luck and have fun!
