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'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.

i usually don't fall asleep on the way to school... it's the way home that gets me. which is bad, considering i don't want to miss my stop... but after a long day, not much sleep the night before, expecially if i had to carry a lot of books that day, and if no one else was riding the bus that day, i just start drifting off, and i have to hold my eyes open so i don't go all the way to silver spring...
