Hell yes! You try working the night shift for four years while majoring in engineering!

At least once every other week. Depends on how many beers I have at lunch. Sometimes you just gotta shut the door, pull the pillow out of the drawer, and lay down on the floor for an hour or so.

Yes, and what's so surprising about Americans falling asleep on the job? Americans work more, and get less time off, than workers from almost any other industrialized nation. I'm sure we'll be glad we spent all this time at work when we're on our deathbeds.

I went to sleep standing up once when I was working at a sawmill. The line had stopped for a few minutes. I was just standing there with nothing to do & spaced out.

one time i was so tired (and bored because i had finished all of my tasks for that day but still had time to kill) i went into the bathroom stall and took a 15 minute power nap.

I fell asleep mowing the yard. So I fired myself and went back in the house and fixed a drink and watched the baseball game.

I voted NO. But I am about to go to sleep right now. Too late up last night.
honeychild (Mel Briscoe) says…
