Answer 2

Yes it is called a "micro burst" of sleep. This is how many sleeping at the wheel accidents occur. Basically what happens is your brain decides it has had enough of being awake and it puts you in a quick sleep mode, which last long enough to send the message to the rest of the body that it is time to get some sleep. The best thing to do when this happens is to take a short nap about half an hour {if you must remain awake} This will reset the brain long enough to finish the task at hand and go to bed.
