Hey the brain isn’t fucking with you from this perspective
- Finally
  
  The circle is complete
I’ve had it happen the other way around. Where I’m driving and realize I’m actually asleep and get startled awake because I shouldn’t be driving while sleeping.
- I think that's what's going on in the comic
  
  I read as they were actually driving and fell asleep. I dunno. Maybe you’re right. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  
  Driving and sleeping vs. sleeping and driving.
My favorite Reno 911 intro immediately comes to mind.

- Simpsons did it
Good one.
stupid brain always interrupting my well earned rest during my daily booze cruise
I once drove from Atlanta to Indiana after only getting about 4 hours of sleep over 3 days. Down roads so slushy I had to use the wiper fluid regularly and stop to add more twice. I was hallucinating. At one point, I pulled over to a rest stop to sleep for a little bit and a cop made me leave. I have no idea how I made it home.
- Cop made you leave a rest stop for resting too much?
  Driving tired is just as bad (sometimes worse) than driving over the BAC limit!
  What a world
  
  Yep. Shockingly, the cop was a bastard.
I once drove to a concert alone (got flaked on) and by the time I left to go home, I had been up for about 30 hours. I had to stop at a random truck stop to take a nap in my car so I wouldn't die.
Never again.
- I'm glad you stopped.
  
  Same. Wasn't my finest hour to put myself in the position in the first place.
Apparently this is super common for people with adhd.
- I hope they don't live in America where driving is essential to do anything (especially work) and where there is shitty public transportation so there really aren't alternatives.
  
  Yep, leading expert says he often requires his patients to only drive medicated.
- Sleeping while driving?
  Ah, you mean dozing off on monotonous tasks. But it just happens faster than average Joe.
I wasn't expecting this, but it's genuinely amazing! Thank you, you brightened my evening
- you brightened my evening
  Watch out, that's oncoming traffic!
Kim Wexler moment
For me it's always falling down from my bed into an eternal void of nothingness
Took some benadryl at home for allergies and had no reaction at all. Hour later on the drive back from the clinic and I could not keep my eyes open and had to smack myself to keep me awake. Worse feeling ever, especially that drug induced sleepiness.
Broke half my ribs and punctured my lung like that, no place to pull over in time. Scary shit. Lucky to be alive.
