One thing that I'd not realised before was how much easier it is to nod off when tired if on the aerobars. After a couple of unplanned microsleeps, I rode quite a lot on the hoods on flat sections for that reason.
That was one of the things that afflicted Wilko on his E2E. He said something like he wished he had normal bars so he'd be less prone to nodding off.
Interesting, I hadn't heard that. I found that they worked so well that I'm thinking of getting a set fixed to my bed in case I can't sleep at night!
