you know you are sleep deprived when

you wake up in the morning and realize you forgot to put your smart card in the machine after recording data off it the day before! shoot, and I had the best night on cpap since I started

You wake up in the office at about 2:oo pm with keyboard imprints on your face.

you know you are sleep deprived when you wake up to someone saying "wake up robbie... you are at the dentist and you need to open your mouth"

EVEN worse if you are the dentist.

You know you are sleep deprived when...

... you find the toothpaste in the cabinet - the kitchen cabinet
... you fall asleep in a meeting - and you were conducting it
... you fall asleep standing in church singing
... you count on a honking horn to wake you when the light turns green and when the drive-thru line moves
... you know all the safest nap locations on regularly traveled routes
... your drive home leaves you with red pinch-n-twist marks all over your arms, and handprints on the side of your face
... you switch to showers instead of baths due to drowning concerns
... you've acquired a tolerance for eating scorched food
... you turn down a date because you'd rather stay home and sleep
... your idea of a fun day is unrestricted napping
... you're more distressed by the sleep you didn't get instead of the sex
... your last bit of cereal is now covered in orange juice

You put your bread in the fridge, pour your milk/orange juice in the toaster, and put two whole eggs in dishwasher, and then forget about breakfast altogether as yu're headed out the door with the uneasy feeling that you've forgotten something.

Yuo get to work and discover you're dressed in nothing but a towle wrapped around your waist and think that you thought it was aweful breezy on the way to work.

You look back aT the words that you just typed for your "You know your sleep deprived when..." list and discover a major portion of them are spelt Backerds.

You call the boss and tell them you're running late only to hear "John, you've been retired fdor 10 years now", and you reply "Well in that case, can I have a raise?"

You take hte dog for a walk, take it to the vet for a check-up, and have it neutered or spayed while you're there, only to later realize you don't own a dog... which might explain the frantic phone calls from the neighbor asking if you'd seen their prized Peekaneese

You drive up the onramp and wonder why everyone is driving the wrong way -- straight at you--- the numbskulls!!

Yuo nad your wife are laying in bed after hours of no sleep, your wife says "Honey, could you run down to the all night burger joint and pick me up a double cheezeburger?" and you reply "Hey, now that sounds like a good idea- I might grab one for myself." You return with two icecream cones and your wife says to you "Honey you big dope, I told you to get me a double Pistachio, not butternut crunch!!"

Yuor frineds ask you over for dinner, and later that day, you and spouse are sitting at your own table, with a nice meal on the table infront of you, and you're getting madder and madder that your friends aren't here yet.

You get home late, walk stright to the table, say hello to the kids, brush off the angry/confused look from your spouse (hard to tell what the looks mean these days), and start eating, only to get half way through the meal and realize that your not married and the table you're eating at is oak, when you know for sure that your own table is formica

Your repiratory Therapist is desperately trying to get ahold of you because there has been a recall on your Cpap machine, and they keep leaving messages, and one day you see someone running after you calling out your name, and you run straight for the police department and tell them about a crazy stalker whos name sounds familiar, but you just can't place it.

You burst into your house and catch your wife with some other guy, sitting around on the couch, laughing it up at your expense, giggling about all the good times they have, only to hear the woman break off her conversation with Mr. wonderful, Mr. Ladies man, Mr. "I'm more desireable than John is", and say "John, you live two houses down."
