How many driving hours per day?
I’m about to take my first trip: from CT to TX. I’m going to drive 4 hours the first day due to the stress of it being my first day. How many hours per day am I going to want to travel thereaf...

You are wise to plan your first day out for four hours max. You will likely get tired just because you are not accustomed to the routine. We typically drive 200-250 miles, about 4-5 hours. After a couple days of that, though, I want to stop for 2 days so I have a rest before hopping back in the saddle. I am the only driver, so I want to be comfortable.
Good ideas have been mentioned. . . we usually eat breakfast before leaving. We also have a dog. Leave around 9. Stop 11:30 to noon for lunch in the rig and to walk girlie. May time it with a fuel stop and then park in the lot for lunch. If it's a long afternoon of driving as well, we will plan another stop to walk the dog. Always try to arrive relaxed and with time left to explore if we wish.
