In a similar vein, I was making coffee and my dogs food at the same time. Scooped coffee grounds on top of my dogs biscuits. Brain took a while to get in gear at what was wrong

I think we all just need more sleep and the 8 hour work day is unnatural.

It’s insane to me that the US has not moved past 1940s workers rights. The middle and lower class is being crushed, not to the same extent but it’s bad

I pulled out of my parking lot at work, blinked, and suddenly found myself half way home with no memory of how I got there. I was so freaked out I pulled over to check my car for damage (there wasn’t any). My route home involved a highway and several stop signs and lights at very busy junctions, goodness knows if I stopped for any of them. Drove very carefully the rest of the way home and swore never to drive tired again. I’d just pulled a 14 hour shift, and had a newborn at home so wasn’t getting much sleep to begin with.

My brain switched yawning with moaning. Lets just say that wasn’t the proudest day of my adult work life

Probably didn’t look much different than a person yawning.

Took some nyquil because I wasn’t feeling well, I had stayed up until like 4 and I was too tired to realize that the drowsiness wouldn’t wear off before I woke up. Got up feeling almost drunk and drove to work. I feel asleep on the road and woke up with just enough time to slow down before rear ending someone at 50 mph.

Reason #21 that my mid-life crisis hasn’t led to me buying a motorbike yet

Personally, I’m inching closer and closer to that bad decision. I recently found out Suzuki brought back the small displacement GSXR and it’s cheap! Not a good combo for keeping me on 4 wheels. Worlds ending anyhow, right?

Like 90% of motorcycle collisions are the driver running into something. Not being hit, not mechanical problems, not external forces.

If you only ride when you know you’re good, you’re as safe as a car.

If you only have a bike bikes are dangerous. If you default to a car and ride a bike recreationally, or for chores where you aren’t in a rush, you’ll be fine.

Try phenegran 50mg. It doesn’t make me drowsy in the morning. Or just 25mg.

These comments are starting to make me think that driving tired is as bad or worse than drunk driving.

It is. Do not drive unless you’re focused.

Yeah, I know…it’s just such a shitty thing, being forced to drive when you’re not even in your senses.

It absolutely, demonstrably is. I’ve gone home after working nights as a nurse and it’s scary that people drive in that state, and are also responsible for others’ lives.

The sleep episode on Joe Rogan was great. Confirmed sleeping while tired is just as bad
