​You know you are sleep deprived when you

• Forget to apply mascara to one of your eyes;
• Don’t notice that, not only is your toddler wearing his shoes on the wrong feet, he’s wearing two different shoes;
• Start backing out of the garage without first opening the garage door;
• Can’t remember how to spell “the”‘;
• Think eating takes too much effort;
• Can’t remember if you had two, three, or four cups of coffee that morning;
• Develop a speech impediment;
• Think good posture is overrated;
• Have to calculate your age once you finally remember the year in which you were born;
• Call your kid the name of every person and animal in your house before recalling his name;
• Are sure you left your car keys on the kitchen counter – no, in the bedroom – uh, maybe on the sofa – well, could they be in your purse? – nope, they are still in the ignition.
