Long Day
To be so tired that you could fall asleep wherever you are… has anybody done this? I find it hard to sleep in places where I know I should be alert…. airports, airplanes, trains and the like.
The couch is my favorite sleepy place… curl up with a blanket while brainless tv occurs…
My coworkers on my last ship had a running joke about me, said I was the only person they had ever seen who they thought must have been half horse – because I could literally sleep on my feet.
Wasn’t unusual for them to hear me snoring while standing at quarters because I had a late watch and wasn’t ready to be awake yet … but was still standing up! 😀 Really freaked them out that I could do it even when the seas were a bit heavy, could see me rocking back and forth to maintain balance as the ship rolled, but was dead to the world …
Nowadays I’ll just occasionally find myself falling asleep at the keyboard if I’ve had a long night … back when I played Warcraft it happened while my Guild was on a raid. They thought their fire mage had gone nuts running into a room full of elite mobs by themselves. Nope, the player had dozed off and his finger was resting on the “w” button so off his character ran.
Woke up right as the mobs were finishing me off, to the sounds of laughter and “what is he doing?!” on the voice chat channel … and, no, my name is NOT Leroy Jenkins. 😉
In her drowsy state, Randie may be adding some extra details to her French mural without knowing it. For instance, a tiki idol, a devil cat, a Vespa, some jam, a Pop Tart, a squirrel, a seagull, or a guy in a squid suit.
The worst part of drifting off to sleep while watching a TV is losing the end of a competition you’d been following when the winner was revealed.
The sleeping while standing or sitting direction here makes me recall some funny fake eyeballs of time gone by. The idea was that you’d put on these sort of glasses with ping pong ball like eyes in the front so that you’d look awake while actually sleeping, only they’d make you look like a fully awake Kermit the Muppet inspite of your snoring. Creepy yet funny.
Grey… sleeping on your feet takes some talent! Do you sleep walk, too? You seem to sleep game… but not very well.
stick… oh, she’d add those things regardless of her sleeping status. Hiding stuff where it is unexpected is just fun! And no doubt there will be Vespids all over the mural. They are all over Paris in real life.
Muppet sleeping eyes… that’s cool.
I have a habit of falling asleep in the chair at the dentist…no one can really explain it.
