Consciousness and senses

The other day I noticed that when I started talking to someone, my consciousness moved from my eyes, looking directly out at that point, to way back in my head - in fact when talking I noticed that I wasn't really conscious of the physical world around me at all, unlike when I was just silently staring at things. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, when I'm tired, the same thing happens and my attention drifts back from the position of my eyes, to deeper inside my head, then away to nothing.
