[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 730893, member: 16024"] When I was about ten, we were driving across the country. It got to be late at night and I fell asleep. At some point during the night, I woke up because I felt the car lurching and swaying in a strange, not normal way. I looked up, and we were going all over the road and headed for the edge. I yelled to my mom (who was driving) and she startled and righted the car. I asked what had happened and she said she was starting to fall asleep. I asked why we didn’t just stop for a while, and she said she couldn’t, but she couldn’t stay awake, either. She said I had to stay awake and watch and wake her up if she started falling asleep again. I didn’t want to, but there was really no other choice, so we just drove on. She said to grab the wheel if I needed to, but I don’t think it ever came to that. Every time I felt the car start to go sideways, I would wake her up, and we kept going. I was so glad when dawn came, so I could tell when her eyes started to close. It made watching much easier. [/QUOTE]
