Where is the most embarrassing place you have fallen asleep?

I had to go to a work meeting out of town. I dozed a lot during the first speech. The second speech was after lunch and it was an ad on speech about staying awake during a presentation! So embarrassing! I also fell asleep during a NASCAR race, in the pits, at the smallest (loudest) track. After about 3 hours of that engine roar and no place to sit I was about to cry. Then it happened. A bad wreck that shut it all down. Finally some relief from the noise. I found the drivers tent, pulled 3 folding chairs together and took about a 30 minute power nap. Attending that race was a really cool experience for about 10 minutes. My friends and family are used to it now and expect me to fall asleep on road trips no matter how long.
For some of us falling asleep just happens and we have no control over it. I used to be talking to someone like my daughter and fall asleep talking to her and I can remember saying some very incoherent things like the red train just flew by and I have to go wash it but it just turned into a fire truck going by and then wake up to see her looking at me very concerned. Sleep dreams can last for days at a time, for me it was 3 days long at times.
That's a long time! Is your family supportive and understanding? - Lori (Team Member)
I'm guaranteed to go out within 20 mins off a lecture or half an hour anywhere with a lot of people noise. My usual spot l at any party is propped up in the corner with my eyes shut ( suits me fine, I hate parties), that I find embarrassing; but really don't care about blanking out in public - I'll just plonk myself down ( on the floor if there are no seats) and get it over with. Kinda disturbing how people just don't check on someone flat out on a train platform
I can remember laying on the cold floor in the store shopping with my mother and falling asleep she would leave me laying there until I woke up and found her. Church pew I would fall out and jerk so violently the people sitting next to me would look at me crazy like That is scary to think that no one would even check on you. Were you even victimized in any way when you were asleep or have people mostly left you alone? (Lori (Team Member)
A night club = dangerous!
Most definitely! Were you there with friends who were looking out for you? - Lori (Team Member)
