Hi Everyone!
I hope your week is as happy as the happiest butterfly. :))
Have you ever fallen asleep not at the right time?? Or how often it happens?? Last time, I fell asleep while watching a speech on YouTube. Something uncomfortable happened 'cos I had had a promise to have a call with a friend in my two hours of sleeping. LoL...
My worst experience about falling asleep was when I attended a forum with one speaker in front of the listeners. We were sitting on the floor and there was a divider device between boys and girls. After the speech was over, the forum dismissed, and the divider was removed. Poor me! All friends left me alone sleeping there. How embarrassed I felt that time! It was when I was a junior high school student.
The most dangerous one. A few years back, on the nearly desolate road, in the darkness of evening, after a tiring trip, I and a friend of mine went home. He was riding a motorbike and I was behind his back. On the way, he said, "For a while, I don't remember that I am here." "What?? Let's stop and eat!", I responded. .... In other time, one of my friends had an accident in the same case with her brother. They got wounded and my friend couldn't walk well for a month. So, I was really grateful that I was fine. Nodding off while driving is indeed dangerous. We could fall asleep in the accident.
According to me, this sudden sleep indicates that one doesn't have problems of insomnia. It shows how comfortable and peaceful a person can sleep anytime, sometimes everywhere. However, it could make something unwanted or even dangerous happen. How do we cope with that? Not all people can consume caffeine.
I guess almost all people experienced falling asleep not at the right time. What about you? Would you tell us your experience about that?
Definition
Fall asleep: to yield to tiredness and begin to sleep; change from a waking to a sleeping state; euphemism to die. (thefreedictionary)
Nod off: fall asleep, especially briefly or unintentionally. (oxforddictionaries)
Falling asleep also means just usual thing when you tried hardly to sleep at night and you finally fell asleep...(change from a waking to a sleeping state, go to sleep). But here, It mainly means cease to pay attention, dictionary.com.

Hi Onee
I can say, Im so easy to fall asleep, last time, few days ago I fell asleep while watching movie. when I have day off I like to spend my time by sleeping. for me day off is my me time of sleeping.
few years back when I went home from my university, I went home by Angkot ( public transportation ) i was so tired that time and then I fell asleep, when I woke up I was shocked because the Angkot passed my home :),I told the driver about it and other passengers heard it, I was very shy, it was so embarassing momemt for me.
It is hard for me to get a comfortable sleep during long flight. It is very painful. I have travelled number of times from Karachi to US and back 16 hours total flight time, (around 3+13 hours with transit). But once I saw a young woman from Dallas to Frankfort she passed her some time reading a novel, then she fell asleep and woke up when the plane was about to land. What a lucky girl. I kept awake all the time.
Best wishes to you too beautiful butterfly :))
Sleep ...oh well I am dozing of far too often and I do not like it at all :(
Saya suka teritidur mod. Onee! It happened to me a lot. The most embarrassing one was that when I gave my students an exercise, then I sat down to surf the net for some information. I heard my head hitting the desk with a big sound. I woke up from that doze. Most of the students were busy solving their exercise but few of them noticed it. Thanks, Onee for sharing.
I usually sleep on my bed....lol and I think I have no spelling problem until I am anxious or very sad or disoriented! So, I rarely nod off....I can not sleep during traveling as I always become anxious about road safety and it is needless to say I am scared of air journey so...falling asleep is a bit tough thing instead I like to wake up and keep an eye on everything.....lol. But, sure, it is also another problem though I think I have no problem to get enough sleep most of the time. So, I wish if I could fall asleep during a journey as I never drive.
Sweetie Onee,
Enjoyed While Reading...:P you fell asleep while attending forum..LOL
yup, I usually fall asleep during reading book OR novel. ^_^
Hi, Onee!
Yes, I often fall asleep, especially while riding on a bus.
I can and even like to drink coffee! But I don't want to become addicted to it. So usually I drink as much water as possible.
Well, good to know, that you didn't have an accident because of falling asleep. But oh my! You made your friend wait for you for two hours because of falling asleep! It is unbelievable! What did he/she tell you after that?
And let me disagree with you. There are lots of situations when you feel like falling asleep, right at the computer, but when you go to bed, you can't fall asleep. So how to explain the situation like this?
And thank you! :)
Have an excellent day!
I have been having this experience in the past, present and may be in future. I most of the time fall asleep while watching TV, reading books, at the Laptop. Fortunately (and or unfortunately) I do not drive, so I am safe from any such accident. When I am typing this, and having finished my breakfast with coffee, my eyes getting heavy and want me to go on bed and let them close..................so waht I can say.....................may be it happens with all.
During my working days I use to get lift from home to office and back. Once I was with one of my colleagues in his car going back home in the evening, I was sitting quietly, ( I do not talk much), he was at the steering and continuously talking, I was quiet. Then he said "MI talk sometime otherwise I will fall asleep and you know then..........................."
