> You always have control over your own actions

I mostly agree, but a safer statement would be “The only thing you can ever have any direct control over is your own actions”.

Sleepwalking, inebriation, low blood sugar, hypoxia — these can all lead to degradation or total loss of conscious control of one’s actions. For many people, there are many other triggers, and some of these triggers are even less physiologically driven than the above.

Knowing one’s own limitations is also important.
