Incredible luck that you enter conciousness just as she departs. Also, good idea; about the waiting until you got home. An upset driver is dangerous as well.

Regarding amsterdam_neild, they're known as microsleeps. You know they're coming, but there's not a damn thing you can do to stop them - no amount of willpower, caffiene, noise, or fresh air, can over-ride them. You can only reduce their probability by driving well-rested.

microsleeps
very cojmmon amongst night workers; a lot of medication errors occur due to these with night nurses.
