Sometimes coffee (espresso) wires me, other times I'm so exhausted that even coffee can't keep me awake. I was driving home late one night & dozed off at the sharp curve before getting to my farm. My truck went right between huge stone farm entryway posts to the driveway of that farm & a street post for the following curves. I backed out without a scratch but my truck tires sure left a tell tail mark. I have several close friends that take the same route home. They commented about the tire marks.....I had to fess up they were mine.

I fell asleep on the Calif freeway on the hour drive home from a stressful T appointment. The result of that crash though it was just me involves wasn't as nice. I was so out of it, I called the fire department on the call box instead of the CHP. They picked up me & my little dog Celia & took me back to the fire station for observation before calling an ambulance. I wasn't hurt but it was only 6 months after having neck fusion so they thought it best to be checked out in the ER. Stress either makes me want to sleep or it makes me hyper & I lose tons of weight....trauma causes the hyper reaction & sleep doesn't happen easy then.
