Speaking from personal experience, I'd second sleepy's advice not to dwell on it. After I had a bad automobile wreck in February -- and a resultant severe concussion -- I had moments like that all the time. Once, I woke up and while dressing for work, realized that I no longer remembered how to tie my shoes. I struggled with the laces for about 20 minutes before giving up in frustration and wearing a pair of slip-on Vans to work. The next day, I was able to tie my shoes without a problem. My pdoc thought it was a combo of the head trauma and my meds, but typically these things are temporary for me -- very transient. I'd not concern yourself overly with it. Atticus
