When I am tired
*My depression, if present, becomes more severe.
*I forget complex information such as how to operate a light switch and what my name is.
* I walk into the walls slightly more than usual.
*I experience pronounced feelings of unreality.
*If something is on my mind, I begin to pace until my mind goes blank and I am completely exhausted.

I just go very quiet because all I can think about is going to sleep.

Sleeping helps.

If I'm really tired and I can't sleep at that point, the world starts feeling 'sandy' ... it's as though every thought and movement is a wet sock being dragged along a beach, picking up more mud the longer you think about it until you just don't want to think...

Sometimes I become less patient. Generally, I just go to sleep.

I kill stuff.... wait, that isn't different from normal. To be honest, I play on my PC, which is my normal habit anyway.

I handle being moderately tired quite well, but if I've had less than four hours' sleep I start staggering about, slurring my speech, walking into walls etc.

I tend to explode very fast around irritatiates when I get tired. I don't tolerate anything after 10:00.

I also get far more emotional at those times, but I think that is a very NT thing as well.

I ususally feel like going to sleep(which I do most of the time).If that isn't possible I try my best to stay awake.In extreme cases,I have meltdowns.I've been tired alot lately though.Going to bed early and waking up late.

My brain just totally shuts down (when I am at my frustration point) and I go to sleep.

When I'm tired (and some of you who suggest sleep - well, some of us have sleep problems...), depending on how tired I am, any coordination I have can pretty much go out the window. I stagger around like I'm drunk. I'm not really able to follow conversations very well - sensory issues get much worse in regards to light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity. I get much more irritable, and will melt down more easily. If I'm really/really/really/*really*/ tired I'll start to hallucinate, and it's usually then that I break out the heavy tranquilizers and put myself to sleep for 18+ hours.

When I am not tired, I can talk like a pirate.
When I am tired, I talk like Data.

When I am tired my brain goes PFFFT! and I go onto automatic pilot. Plus, if I am not allowed to go to bed, I get grumpy and whiny. And my patience level becomes nill.

I get grouchy, and pretty much everything pisses me off.

I lose touch with reality and basically just act completely out of it. I'll do really dumb stuff like plugging a power strip into itself and then wondering why it's not working.

A friend of mine says it's like my body is still here, but my mind is away on some completely different planet. That about sums it up. :lol:
