    I'm sure it's possible, but you'd probably end up falling and smashing your head - which would either kill you or wake you up

    I've almost fallen asleep in the shower... glad I didn't though...probably would have been painful.

    My dad fell asleep at a camera before, during a football match... standing up...

    OP pop into Boots and grab yourself some caffeine tablets or buy a few cans of Redbull and keep them in the car for the next time you're feeling sleepy when driving.
    Make sure you keep the windows of your car wide open and turn up the radio to it's loudest.

    Have never fallen asleep in the shower myself but it sounds like exhaustion, it's certainly not normal.

    The theory exam came after I passed my test, I'm speaking from experience.

    Theory is one thing, real life is completely different.

    Rub shampoo in your eyes.

    That'll wake you up.

    Good god that means only people who've gone into space are qualified to talk about it.... that means.... oh yes people who build spaceships are just going on theory... as you said, they're completely different things.

    For example did you know in real life pi is exactly 3... yes really... in theory it's a little more complex but in real life it's 3...

    My friend fell asleep standing on a packed train. He started drooling on a woman standing beside him. This guy is over six foot and doesn't have a small frame, he also talks alot in his sleep, he has very strange dreams too. The poor woman was too afraid of him to wake him up:rolleyes:, she spent an hour on the train being dribbled on what she thought was a huge mad man.

    It does count. Big time. You could have drowned. I could see how that could happen easily if your relaxing in the bath with all those relaxing salts and stuff they put into baths to help you relax..... your gonna sleep eventually....
