Aaaah - so THAT's why my dad used to sleep-drive to work at 11pm - his brain couldnt shut that bit down! Its rather scary when you call someone who doesnt know what time of day it is....
"Dad, its 11pm, where are you going in the van"
"Going tae work"
"Its 11pm"
"oh - right y'ar hen"
hehehe - and he doesnt remember! ANd he used to agree with the telly in his sleep....that man was so funny.
