#454 - Flop
I’m a pretty heavy sleeper. When I’m tired I can sleep in most any environment or situation. The main disadvantage to this is that I frequently injure myself sleeping. I frequently have to suffer through a work day with a sore neck or shoulder or back. Sleep can be dangerous!

thats one way to get back problims.

Heheh, reminds me of the time I slept upside down in a chair.
February 29th, 2008 at 12:46 am
I woke up with my head resting on the mousepad once. not uncommon for most ‘hardcore’ internet users, I guess, but I honestly thought I was lost…
February 29th, 2008 at 1:42 am
Hehe, I can sleep whenever or wherever I want too.
In fact, I used to sleep on the floor when I had to get up early the next morning, because its easier to wake up if you’re on the floor

Once I was on a bus trip, from Perth, AUS, to Adelaide, AUS, for a conference when I was about 14. I couldn’t sleep in the seats (it’s about a 3 day trip), so I slept in the walkway in the middle. sometimes you’d get stepped on, but once people realised you’d be bombarded with “sorry!”’s; this was more annoying than being stepped on because it would wake you up more.
I had many a bruise after that trip.

My little sister used to fall asleep in the most bizarre positions - with her upper body under the sofa and her legs sticking out, or standing up, bent over at a right-angle, with her head resting on a table or chair. She’s stopped doing that now, but instead she talks in her sleep -.-”
I can hardly sleep anywhere, and tend to wake in the middle of the night to find that my boyfriend has been sleeping on my arm and I can’t feel my hand. -.-”

Heavy sleeper? I can barely sleep a wink!
February 29th, 2008 at 6:28 am
I’ve woken up on the couch without actually having fallen asleep on the couch.

I’ve woken up in the middle of a calculus class
And I’ve put to sleep half a class and both professors giving an oral lesson about serial comms thru rs-232
My own teammate went to the end of the class to sleep!

To Nemo: I think Chris took my idea and ran with it: http://www.thebeandom.com/spaceturtle/?q=biffmare
I’m honored! (Or vain in thinking that’s actually what happened…)
In my dreams, I don’t need to plug my site, people just go to it {:0p
To Chris: I like the theme this week! Using themes is great, are you going to keep doing so?

i get that often,i dont sleep long (i cant get to sleep usually,then have to wake up early) but it seems i always manage to sleep on my arm or something equal and having to shuffle out of bed with the help of my walls and railing (i have a high level bed)
February 29th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Heh!
My children sleep like Biff - I get a grin AND a wince out of seeing the contorted positions they apparently find quite comfortable.
But Biff! Why don’t you dream of being a failed Luge competitor? Then you could crash your couch in your sleep…

my brother has had a huge problem with moving in his sleep. We shared a bed whenever relatives came over, so I would always be in the crossfire of his moving. One night he went completely 180 on the bed. You can imagine how unconfortable it was for me at 90 degrees.
February 29th, 2008 at 10:31 am
i woke up with my face on my mates crotch before….we were both worried…..and hungover…….

I never find myself waking up in bizarre places, but I guess my preferred sleeping position is a bit odd. My bed’s in a corner, with the headboard and left side against a wall. I use two pillows, one flat and in the standard pillow position, and another leaning against the wall on the left side. I lay my head on the pillow facing the wall, drape my arm over the sideways pillow, and push my head into the corner.
Weird? Yes. Comfy? Hell yes!
The Duck Has Spoken.

I tend to sleep walk alot, the weirdest place I woken up would be my attic which you have to climb a ladder to get to. It was just odd…..
February 29th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Though I don’t wake up in strange positions often, I do remember this one time… I was twelve I think, but I went to sleep with my head on the pillow…
And I woke up upside-down in the bed, in the middle of the night, and totally had no idea where the heck I was or where the door to get out of my room was. Took me ’bout five minutes to full reorient myself. oo;
February 29th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
I’ve fallen asleep in my room and woken up on the kitchen floor, as well as waking up on the coffee table, and the bathroom rug, and by the front door.. and a couple of times in an armchair. I have no idea why I wander around when I’m asleep, but, meh.
February 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
I’ve never fallen asleep in strange places, I always manage to do so in a bed, but I do move around a lot in my sleep. Usually I just end up curled up in a fetal position, but I have ended up in some other peculiar positions.
The oddest one would have to be where I rotated myself 90 degrees, and had both my head and legs dangling over the side of the bed. And I had also flipped myself over, so I was facing the ground. That was a fairly disconcerting position in which to wake up: I thought I was falling, and it took a little bit to realize I was not about to smash into the wooden floor.
I have also fallen out of bad, smacking into my nightstand. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience, but I somehow didn’t injure myself. I quickly fell back asleep, after the shock had subsided. On the floor. What can I say? I’m a heavy sleeper.

Duck! I sleep the same way sometimes!!! Only, I tend to have some pillows on the other side of me too, and some really thin ones against the wall, because my hand hits the (very cold, hard) wall when I’m trying to sleep and it wakes me up.
A Friend of mine used to sleepwalk every once and awhile…She told me about the dream she had, where she was wandering around a castle. Then she opened a door and one room didn’t look very interesting, so after looking for a little bit, she went on to the next room.
The next day her mother told her she had walked to the top of the staircase, stood there for a minute, and then turned away.
Steps away from DEATH!

Also, Chris has been doing themes for these last couple weeks. This week was dream week.
February 29th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Ha ha ha. I fall asleep in really weird positions. I have to roll myself up into a tight blanket burrito. I yell at people in my sleep as well. I was sleeping in a snow cave recently and someone nearby got up to use the restroom and I started yelling, “Don’t leave me mom!” It was awkward hearing it back the next morning…
Sleepwalking hasn’t been an issue for me for a while though.
February 29th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
I fell asleep sitting up once. I didn’t even have anything behind me, I was sitting on my bed, and fell asleep leaning forward.
My back and neck hurt all day after that.
March 1st, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I was on a really long bus trip one time and I couldn’t fall asleep in the chair so I turned around backwards and sat cross legged with my back leaning against the seat in front of me…I’m not sure why I decided to sit like that but I was one of the only people who actually fell asleep, it was actually kind of comfortable.
March 1st, 2008 at 10:19 pm
I move a lot in my sleep. I once knocked over a lamp and burned a hole in my sheet before Dad woke me up.
March 2nd, 2008 at 10:15 am
one time i went to bed, as normal, in the normal way. when i woke up, i was the wrong way round, as in my feet where my head was and my head was where my feet were.
god that was confusing.

I used to move about in my sleep a fair bit when I was younger, talk as well, but not so much anymore. I also used to sleep on a loft bed, so it was rather unusual to have had a dream of getting up, putting pizza into the microwave, logging onto a chat program on my computer, and going right back to sleep in the loft bed. I woke up in the morning, pulled the pizza out of the fridge, put it on a plate, and opened the microwave just to find the pizza from my dream. It was rather confusing.

Me and my brother both have sleep walking/talking issues. My brother has once, gotten out of bed, walked down the stairs, into the kitchen, made toast, then buttered it, hw woke up half way through the buttering process and decided not to question his body’s desire for toast… I just sleep talk a lot. I used to go off on anybody who touched me in my sleep saying that “You’ll never get mah waffles you thief! Go get your own!” another time I described the thanksgiving dinner from three years back in great detail, without ever waking up. And I seem to still have a bad habbit of dropping F bombs in my sleep. It is kinda weird being told that thats what you said in your sleep.
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
From what I’ve gathered by what people have told me, I sleepwalk/talk purely in order to get rid of distractions that might wake me up. This can range from turning off alarms, kicking out animals, having conversations, and telling people that ring the doorbell to sod off.
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Fortunately for me I have never woken up in an odd position nor do I have any problems with sleepwalking. However I did wake up once to find one more person than I fell asleep with in bed with me. That was confusing.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:45 am
I tend to fall asleep in the most uncomfortable situations. I hurt all over when I wake up…and I always rough up the bed linen when I sleep. Always, always. I always have to make the bed all over again when I’m supposed to sleep next time.
Biff’s neck caught my eye in this drawing…or maybe it’s actually correct and I’m seeing things weird. It’s a difficult pose to draw.

I used to talk in my sleep, a lot. On a camping trip my dad woke me up and told me to stop talking in my Irish accent. Funny, huh?
April 6th, 2008 at 11:01 am
i broke an arm once falling out of my loft bed onto a very messy floor i just fell back asleep and I’ve also sleep walked to a friends house and fell asleep on ther swinging bench
