Why does this happen when your tired?

Question

Usually when i'm very tired and my mom comes in to wake me up quick i say things that make no sense at all. Such as when she asked me if i had a belt she could borrow and i rose up and said yah but the belt wont stay up on that shirt. Makes no sense.. lol. And then i lay back down and i think to myself about what i said and how it makes sense to me at the moment. Basically what im saying is you say things that you have no clue why you said it or even if you know you said it, but it makes sense to you at the moment. Just a thought at the moment.

Answer 1

That's what my dreams are like.  They make perfect sense while I'm still asleep, but if I think about them later they make no sense at all.

Maybe it's just cuz you're half asleep.  ^^

Answer 2

if you want to get technical, the part of your brain that processes that type of information is switched off while you are asleep. so when your mom asks you that question, instead of going to the part of your brain that it should, it goes somewhere else, like the audio/visual lobe or something. that part has no idea how to handle the information, and does the best it can.

it would be like if my dad fell asleep at work and they called me in to do his job. i have no idea how to do it, but i do the best i can, and it comes out totally garbled. same concept.

Answer 5

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I can't help but feel like there is some truth to those weird things we say when we're tired.....

Answer 6

your mind isn't fully awake...when it is you are awake...but since you aren't awake your mind isn't fully awake...

Answer 7

haha thats funny. I think it somehow relates to the question your mom asks, but at the same time, your subconsious makes you say things relate to what you dreamt. Like this one time, my mom passed by my school and aske me why there were so many people there.I said: band shoes. Makes no sense huh? I thought it was funny. people were at my school because of a band concert, and i was dreaming of throwing shoes at someone i hated... weird but it makes sense... i think
