Have I mentioned this before? I have this thing where, whenever I get a sort of sensory overload, I start getting sleepy. Once in awhile, I even fall asleep. It seems odd to others because it happens in very loud, crowded social situations.
I was in my forties before I realized this was a subconscious defense against this overload.
It happened today at the coffee shop. There were a lot of people. It was loud, and rather busy. I felt myself getting sleepy, so I left. Within about fifteen minutes, I was back to normal.
And by 'normal', I mean normal for me, which is probably really low-key by your standards.
I really need a lot of time alone, and a lot of quiet.
