I once fell asleep giving a driving lesson when I was working early mornings as a postman. I reckon I was asleep for around 5 minutes and I still cringe now when I think of him looking at me as I woke up.

I slept at lunchtime in my car on tuesday.... As a rep it was either that or pavement in the industrial estate.

It almost sounds like you have NO choice but to sleep at lunchtime on Tuesdays

No he wasnt but I do also remember being really surreal with him. We once had a conversation about which inaniment object we would like to be. I chose a post office and under increased pressure he opted for a lamp post. We were parked up by one and I often wonder if he just said what he saw and didnt really think it through.

Ive never fallen asleep but ive been pretty close on a daily basis, a warm office and only a couple hours sleep with being bored does that to you

I blame it on the tedium of the car I drive.

do you smoke teh ganja?

 

No, and I dare not. It could push me over the edge.

i regularly have sleeps at work, but usually in meal breaks. I don't mind shift work but it really messes up your system. This week i've been going to sleep at about eight and waking up at about 3 in order to get to work on time. I tend to go home at midday and sleep, which is fatal because i then cannot get back to sleep at 8. So a sleep at work helps!

VVanking in the bogs at work would send me to sleep too.

Ive never fallen asleep

 

Blimey, you must be knackered

[saints_is_the_south]

I did on lunch breaks at my old part time job. I know i could have definatly done with a few this week, lie ins & late nights for 2 weeks over xmas has really messed up my sleeping pattern!

Likewise, but working in a partly open plan building I have to get up and go for a walk when I feel the urge to doze off.

A few times, usually when I've been to Saints home games in the daytime. I usually manage not to now, partially due to experience and sleeping better but mostly due to the prospect of having my shoelaces tied to the chair legs and things thrown at me, until I wake up to everyone's raucous laughter :oops:

 

There was a happier incident a couple of shifts ago though - I'd been to the Forest game in the day and was flagging severely, when our IT system went down and no-one had anything to do for two hours. Told my colleagues to wake me up when they got it working again and had a kip on the sofa in our new rec room thing, keeping me refreshed for the rest of the night. Good times.

Between 6th form and Uni i took a job on the nightshift at Sainsburys. On the 3rd night was right knackered and when i went for a pony, i fell asleep sat on the throne for about 1 hour 15 mins. My 'arris hurt big time when i woke up and my dangleberrys were beginning to form a life of their own.

When I worked at STC, back in the late 80's, occasionally the armour cable crew required extra hands. Normally, I would be joining the tiny fibre-optic strands, and was happy to do a bit of physical work for a change. It also meant that during a winter's night 7pm-7am shift, I could look forward to a good 5-6 hour sleep after the yardage had been manufactured. So, on a few occasions, after the night's stint had been over, I would go looking for somewhere in the factory to sleep the rest of the night off. I remember being lulled by the subtle clinks and rattles of the machinery several hundred yards away [cable factory remember - very long building], while I slept, way upstairs, in the old part near the exit. I once woke, only to find the next shift very much in the factory, and our lot gone home. That felt very odd, because the faces you knew from passing during shift changes, were grinning from ear to ear, knowing full well what you had been doing. I wasn't the only one though. It often happened to others when extra armour crew were required. Great days.
