    Transparent eyelids. Luckily this didn’t happen on the road. So one day I was laying in bed playing on the Steam Deck, waiting for that wave of tiredness to hit so I could easily fall asleep. Well, when the tiredness finally hit I was driving this truck on a long straight road in the game. My eyes slowly closed and it was as if my eyelids had become transparent. I was still seeing the road crystal clear, still going straight not even noticing that my eyes were shut. After about 15 seconds I open my eyes and the truck was flipped over in a ditch. Freaked me the hell out and showed me how devastatingly easy it is to fall asleep behind the wheel without even noticing.

      I have been having this, but my interpretation has never been “transparent eyelids”, but I get what you mean. For me it’s just my normal doomscroll or reading something on my phone. It’s like my brain says ‘yeah, you need to sleep, I can give you the rest’ and then I get more of my feed, but it’s just made up. Then when I awake, I can see that I never continued scrolling.
