This is something I thought about a lot while I was recovering from brain damage and thus transiently a lot stupider than I normally am.
A few of mine:
Stupidity feels like not having enough fingers to hold all of my thoughts in place.
It feels like being tired all the time, even when I’m not.
It feels like merging onto the highway when I can’t see all the oncoming traffic.
It feels like someone’s playing loud distracting music that I can’t hear.
It feels like riding on a train with square wheels.
This metaphor is excellent. That is exactly how I feel when I undersleep/oversleep.
