- I tend to notice that I am getting sleepy when letters from the line
- below the one I am reading start migrating upward into the current line,
- but, being sleepy, the nonsensicalness of the resulting mess often
- doesn't strike me until I have an entire paragraph to reread to get it
- right. Also, sleepiness prevents the incidents from being memorable
- enough to be reconstructed here as specific examples.
