    Did you know that british soldiers on sentry duty during WW1 used to rest their chins on their bayonets so they wouldnt fall asleep....so it is possible fall asleep standing up....in a shower I dont know...reckon your just imagining it..you could have had brian numb alright...but your not a dolphin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    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...

    Ever fall asleep on the bog?
    Wake up ass frozen to bits...horrible sensation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,111 ✭✭✭Jesus Juice


    No,but weirdly I conditioned for the first time!!

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

    Theory is one thing, real life is completely different.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 197 ✭✭Bringthethunder


    its a bit strange but when i have a shower i feel like i WANT to fall asleep its not a suicide mission or anything but with nice warm water washing off my dove shower gel i feel like sleep would really be the bomb but i know if i did fall asleep it would all end in tears:mad::(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    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.

    ....feeling you get when you fall nearly fall asleep....

    That's the best William Shatner impersonation I've seen on d'interweb! Well done!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,418 ✭✭✭curry-muff


    I woke up in a bath if that counts :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin

    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....

    Not me. I would have to be totally drunk and all over the place to fall asleep in the shower. Sure if I was as drunk as said above, it would not end up in the shower in the first place.

    Being sober, for me its not possible. I have been exhausted at times, had a shower, felt like I would sleep but the call of a fresh me and a clean bed would win any day.

    I have fallen a sleep holding a flag when I was a kid! Embarrassing..

    No, it doesn't. :)

    It means next time the OP is driving home from work and is nearly falling asleep on the motorway(you can't pull in to sleep on the motorway) he can take something to combat his tiredness and not crash!


    What you were taught in your theory test was very good btw, but the majority of people won't pull in if they're tired.

    Rub deep heat on your scrote. This should get you through your next shower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Hmmm, not quite what I was expecting from the thread title ...
