Usually I figure out that my mind is tricking me to sleep when Faust and the devil decide to put together a snowboarding team though.

I used to read until I'd fall asleep. When I'd try to find my place the next morning, I'd first think of the last thing I'd read. I'd remember in a haze and try to find it until I realized I'd done exactly what you'd described.

But I'm worse on the bus.

"OK, ten minutes till school. We're already in town. Stay awake. Keep eyes open." I reconstruct in my mind the scenery flashing by the window in the dim light, closing my eyes. I wake up a minute later when we stop and I'm jolted forward. I fall asleep again in the same way.

It's even worse when I have my head up against the side. I'll fall asleep, head upright, and wake to a very sharp pain in my head when I fall onto that metal screw sticking up from the metal window frame. It's very hard and very cold, as you might imagine. I lift my head up and about three seconds later repeat the process. My record of repeating this wihout moving my head or waking up fully is over a dozen times.
