The 5 Stages of Sudden-Onset Sleepiness

It starts with a whisper, a gentle hum in the back of your brain, "Maybe I'll just rest my eyes for a sec..."

Stage 1: The Caffeine Fueled Denial

Refuse to acknowledge the impending slumber, fueled by the promise of just one more task.

Stage 2: The "Just 5 More Minutes" Syndrome

Convince yourself that just 5 more minutes won't be a big deal, only to realize 2 hours have passed.

Stage 3: The "It's Just My Eyes" Defense Mechanism

Tell yourself your eyes are the problem, not the fact you're running on fumes.

Stage 4: The "I'm Not Lazy, I'm Just Resting" Ruse

Claim that you're not lazy, but just resting, which is totally different.

Stage 5: The "Screw It, I'll Just Sleep" Surrender

Finally, admit defeat and surrender to the all-consuming slumber.

Don't worry, it's not the end of the world, just your attention span.
