Exhaustion is...

...When you suddenly open your eyes in the subway and realise you are at your stop.

And realise just how lucky you were to open your eyes at that exact moment, because you had somehow managed to fall into a deep sleep during the ten minute subway ride home.

And realise [to your chagrin] that you had fallen asleep with your head on some mortified stranger's shoulder.

That's when its time to give a quick apologetic glance and smile, and leap out of the train into the welcoming anonymity of the crowded platform.
