Asleep at the Wheel

I played 2 tournaments last night.  I played a 27 player $2.25 SNG and "The Ferguson" $1 tournament.

I was able to take 2nd in the $2.25 tournament for a cash of $12.42.  I should have won this one, but had some bad luck.  Going into head up, had a 3:2 chip lead.  A few hands in, the following hand came up.  I had AJ in the BB.  My opponent limped and I raised.  My opponent called.  The flop was A92.  My opponent had been pretty aggressive, so I decided to check and give him a chance to hang himself and to diguise my hand.  The turn was a Q.  I bet hoping that he had hit something on the board.  He came over the top for all his chips.  I called and he showed Q7 for 2nd pair.  I was in great shape to win the tournament, but a Q came on the river and he doubled up.  I was never able to recover after this hand.
I made another good run in "The Ferguson".  I went out in 116th place out of 1690.  I cashed for $2.20.  It is emberassing how I was eliminated. After we made it to the money, I was very tired and kept falling asleep.  Usually, it would beep when it was my turn, and I would wake up and play my hand.  The next thing I knew, I woke up and looked at the screen and it said I had been eliminated.  I had blinded off all of my chips!!!   I must have been asleep for over an hour. With the blinds as high as they were, I figure it took about 14 orbits to grind my stack down to oblivion.  How emberassing!!  I have to find a way to stay awake when I am deep in these tournaments.
