You know you're tired when...

    For me, it's when....

    - The simplest of tasks take forever to finish and concentrating on anything is extremely difficult.

    - I have zero patience and feel like responding to anyone who bothers me in the following way:



    - I go to the toilet to take a 5 minute power nap

    - I tend to do dumb shít like put my clothes in the bin instead of the laundry basket, put cutlery in the fridge etc etc etc.

    - Go downstairs/upstairs for something and completely forget what that something was.

    - I fall asleep in a non-sleep conducive environment e.g. at a party/in a bar/in the cinema etc etc (has happened).



    I can't function without sleep, power naps are my friend. So AHers, you know you're tired when......



    p.s: If there's loads of typos and my grammar sucks it's cos a nap is imminent. I apologise in advance, my brain is mushy. :P

    When I get too tired to overthink and actually become productive!

    Leave the keys in the car door when opening it and wonder where they are when I sit in.

    I was actually very tired today but got loads done. I was really productive. But now I'm at the stage where I really need to sleepies. :(

    When you start having dreams while driving.

    When you wake up and the news is over

    I start stumbling into things like as if I'm drunk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    I thought of another. When I'm really, truly exhausted, I can't speak properly. I forget words, stumble over sentences, and sound drunk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭Awkward Badger


    When you just stare at things without even thinking about anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Nolimits


    Not exhausted, but when tired in the morning I tend to sneeze a lot. I have no idea why.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I am also more productive when tired. Thought process goes

    Need to sleep > have stuff to do > once stuff is done, can sleep > do stuff quickly and well, will have amazing sleep > do stuff well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Riverireland


    I have a choice of two fun things to go to this evening and having just come in from work and sitting down I'll be doing neither:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭dd972


    youtyping comes ou t like this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭gugleguy


    When it's simply not your fault that you dropped your smartphone on the street.
    When it's just not your own fault for taking that selfie, drunk as a skunk and post on facebook . The nicotene told you to do it

    Sleepy-driving is definitely at least as dangerous as drunk driving. F*** me, I've really terrified myself once or twice on the road almost losing focus due to tiredness. So, now I don't drive when sleepy, and if I'm even just a tad tired I'll have a coffee before I set off.

    Don't sleepy-drive, people.

    You have cold shivers running through you. You make little insignificant errors far more frequently. Your ears feel like they will melt. Your body aches so much stairs seems like a chore. The only reason you're not falling asleep is the fact you're forcing your feet to stay standing. Even then your balance ain't what it should be and some folks might think you're inebriated.

    I get cranky


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,290 ✭✭✭mickydoomsux


    I tend to get silly when i get tired.

    It takes very little to make me start laughing and i find it hard to stop. I'll also come out with bizarre statements which in turn make me laugh even more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,880 ✭✭✭DeanAustin


    When I'm completely knackered and fighting it I usually go hard as a rock.

    My theory is that my body will do anything to get me to sleep and it knows that after shooting my load, I'm usually out for the count.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    I get really really snappy with people :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭Pablodreamsofnew


    I go into fits of giggles. It actually hurts because I cannot stop laughing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 665 ✭✭✭Aubrey loves Joe


    Can't be bothered to have a ****


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    Walking three feet takes all your energy.

    My yawns become something like a hippo giving everryone a good eyeful of my tonsils.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,576 ✭✭✭Paddy Cow


    It's too much effort to walk from the sitting room to the bedroom so you sleep on the couch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    I know I'm tired when I start randomly dropping dishes on the ground or putting weird stuff in the fridge. Coordination disappears

    When I'm really really tired I'm delirious, I feel drunk and I can't stop laughing

    I've tried zapping my front door / work locker open with my car door zapper :-)

    When you search for ebay on ebay, like I did last night.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm a slave to the snoozes. I get very intolerant of discomfort or any kind of irritation and it makes me snappy.

    I know I'm tired when I drop things. I do that a lot when I'm tired.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,059 ✭✭✭WilyCoyote


    you say to the wife, "Get off me will ya ......not tonight dear, I'm too tired. And stop that ....... I don't want a b/j either".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,419 ✭✭✭Trebor176


    - Grouchiness at 7am is not uncommon

    - Falling back asleep shortly after being woken at the above time, and forgetting I got my wake-up call. The odd time, looking at the clock, realising the time, and saying "****" before leaping out of the bed.

    - About to put the cereal in the fridge, instead of the milk, but quickly realising the error.

    - Tasks in work are done at a slower than normal pace. At lunchtime, I feel myself nodding off at the table.

    - End of the day, back home, sitting on the sofa watching some telly, and I drift off and end up missing whatever I've been watching. . .

    Just some things that come to mind :)

    And then some gobshíte wakes you up and tells you to go to bed. :mad: For the love of god, could you not have let me sleep on the couch. :mad: I think I have slept on the couch twice in my entire lifetime because I always get woken up and told to go to bed. :mad:

    I thought once I moved out, that would be the end of it but NO! :mad:

    ..an endocrinologist decides to take you in for some tests to see if you have an under active thyroid and the results come back negative and so you then spend a fortune seeking out alternatives like homeopathy, even though you don't believe in it and then your wife leaves you cause you won't leave the bed and only ever eat cream crackers and tins of pink salmon as you watch Jeremy Kyle and re runs of Remington Steele.

    I struggle to string a sentence together - stumble over and forget words. I become clumsy and walk into things. Also I find it hard to concentrate on anything and become restless.
