Being tired is a very confusing and sometimes shocking experience. It usually involves walking into doors and staring at an object for ten minutes without blinking. Sometimes it involves tripping up stairs instead of down...
Anyway, I have concluded that there are a few very interesting and useful benefits to being tired to the point where you fall asleep in strange places:
- You can easily excuse yourself from the most boringly tedious conversations. I do it all the time, if I know an unwanted conversation is about to smack me round the face I'll pretend to be asleep. I'm nearly always tired anyway so I'm not technically doing anything wrong, just resting my eyes...
- It's a time waster. Waiting around for things can get boring so just go to sleep instead. This is easy for me to say because I can fall asleep anywhere... literally. Wooden floors, tables, cars, you name it.
- If you happen to be in an awkward situation by which I mean you think there's nobody around so you laze around in your pjs and then a stranger walks into the room just fake it. Close your eyes, a stranger won't wake you up.
- If you happen to already be involved in an extremely tedious conversation and the other person is giving a lecture on hats, just nod and say 'Oh I'm sorry, I'm just so tired'. They can't moan at you because you sneakily slotted the apology in first.
However, with great sleepiness comes great awkward moments. Watch your mouth when you're tired, it has a mind of its own. Also, don't fall asleep near cake, never a good idea.
