Wakey, Wakey

Why is it that whenever I am in a meeting or lecture I always have the greatest difficulty in staying awake?

A visitor was giving a talk at work this morning and I just couldn't stop yawning or keep my eyes open. It wasn't that the talk was particularly boring, in fact the subject matter was very interesting.

There just seems to be something about meetings and lectures etc. which sets me off. I was the same at college.

Of course when I do want to get to sleep, I often find myself wide awake. I seem to be at my most alert the moment my head touches the pillow.

Oh well, life is strange sometimes.
