I actually have a recurring dream about doing exactly that, I wake up late and I wonder if I should go into work for the last hour

The way I look at it is,if I miss the first hour,im staying in bed

Worked nights for a long time and many mad shifts like 6am-2pm or the dreaded 4pm to 12am

Definitely have done the whole arrive back from the night shift, wake up at 11am and freak out and throw on your clothes as you think it's 11pm
You see the alarm clock and you panic when you mix up your am or pm. If it's dark in winter it's pretty understandable

Best sleep ever, worked 27 nights in a row as a night porter. Tbh, probably illegal to work like this but anyway.
Slept 16 hours straight on my first day off.

Used to finish work in Dublin city centre, get the Luas to Black Horse around 6pm and the amount of times I woke up in Tallaght!
Give me two minutes on public transport and I'm asleep. Also missed my Bus Eireann stops in Nenagh and woke up in Limerick.

You're right about the public transport sleeping, somehow it's unnaturally easy to fall asleep on a bus/luas, moving unpredictable, head bobbing against window and surrounded by strangers!

Some of the most satisfying naps were had on the old 10 db, usually followed by the sudden head jolt, le sly wipage of dribble and the "im disoriented but pretending not to be" face.

I always drift off to sleep within a few mins of putting the head down. People are often jealous.:cool:

good logs...

the last 5 mins are all ways the best:D

Last night I went to bed at 23:30 and I was asleep in about 20 mins,I woke up at 9am to got to the toilet and went back to bed and woke up again at 12oclock.So i slept for just about 12 hours,the reason was I work shifts in a factory and I finished at 6am on Friday morning but I had a few things to do during the morning so I didn't bother going back to bed and I was awake since 1 o'clock on Thursday,as you can imagine I was wrecked going to bed.

Although that wasnt my best sleep,last year I came home from holidays and it was a long flight and I went to bed at 9pm and didn't wake up till 11 o'clock the next morning,that was my best sleep that I can remember.

So what was your best sleep,now I mean straight sleep,not the amount of time you have spent in bed,just sleeping

Halfway through reading that OP :P

Moved into a new place recently, and dunno what is is about it but I have never slept so good in my life. Usually takes me a week or so to settle in new surroundings, but the first night there I was out like a light at about 11pm. 2pm the next day I woke up!!Bizarre, because I never sleep in but I felt amazing the next day.

Felt like an idiot the other day tho. Went for an early snooze at about 7pm because I'd had a really long day, up at 4am. Was in work at 9 the next morning. Woke up at 8.30 and freaked because I thought my alarm hadnt gone off. Jumped in the shower, put my uniform on and ran into the kitchen where my boyfriend was sitting looking at me like id ten heads. Turns out it was 8.30pm-I really thought it was the next morning because I felt so refreshed! Power naps are awesome.

I was cleaning my room one evening. When it was time to go to bed the room was messier than when I hadstarted, there was too much crap on my bed so I slept on the floor on top of a load of clothes shoes books etc. It was the best night's sleep I ever had.
Them hobos have it great.
