Have you ever fallen asleep with a drink in your hand?

So many names we never see now.
I fell asleep this afternoon with a book on my lap.
You can guess what woke me up. 😴

My husband (with sleep apnoea) had a brief period a few years ago when he and a friend went to the gym.

They stopped going when the friend turned round and my husband was fast asleep on the rowing machine. 🤣

Love it!

Several times, I wake with a sudden start and a lap full of cold white wine!

No, but I’ve often fallen asleep with my Kindle in my hand - and the thump when it lands on the floor wakes me up! Which is a PITA when it’s 3 am and I’d been hoping to get to sleep!

Granmarie- dont get too worried, it happens often once you get to a certain age- late afternoon or early evening short naps are well known to give you a second wind for rest of the day.

Thank you, Nanann2.

I wasn't too worried about it happening when I was on the sofa at home, but I was a bit concerned and truly embarrassed at dropping off in the nail salon last week.
My sisters persuaded ( bullied!) me into phoning for a GP appointment, so I had a telephone consultation today, I've to go for blood tests soon with a follow up face to face appointment.

Yup. Usually red wine and never spilled a drop 😉

Good because spilling wine is a crime 🤣

Luckily i dont have it red hot.

Did it when i dozed off with a cup of tea.😂

Often! Sit down with a cuppa and wake up with cold tea intact except on one occasion when also had laptop on knees and that was a very expensive cup of tea.

......only in the car

Better than falling asleep with a lit cigarette in your hand!

My grandad did that and his arm dropped to the gas that supplied the gas poker,he was partly disabled and had knocked the tap with his foot. My gran went into the lounge to find him fast asleep with a Woodbine in one hand and his trouser leg smouldering. After that, he was only allowed to smoke when she was there and his chair was moved.

Yes {blush}

Only once! when watching Little Pony or something with my granddaughters!

Oh yes once with a cup of tea . Once was enough never done it again.

Oh yes but usually only a cold one. Can't hold a hot one for long now- hands playing up badly.

I have been known to fall asleep with coffee in my hand or a melted chocolate.

I fell asleep unknowingly with the control for the convertibles hood in my hand and when `I woke with a start I pulled it and the roof went back as we were going down a very steep hill.

When I returned home after a major operation I kept falling asleep with tea or coffee mugs in my hand. DH got upset and would scrub the sofa cushions clean. I would take myself off to bed after it happened so that I could sleep properly.

No, never, I only sleep in bed.

No.

At a party mid conversation .
I felt a complete fool .
No one said anything !

Thank you, HelenLake.
