Whenever I am a passenger on a long journey I fear going to sleep because by doing so I'm convinced I'll cause the vehicle to crash.

As soon as I begin to doze off I jerk cold-sweat awake, and then have to force myself to keep my eyes open for the rest of the journey.

I'm really quite fearless otherwise. I have no idea where this fear comes from, but it feels very primal.
