Most of the time, I can (and frequently do) fall asleep anywhere, in any position, if I am sleepy. I have fallen asleep leaning against a lamp post at a train station (and missed my train). I have fallen asleep on the back seat floor of a car (stretched right across the lump). I have fallen asleep on the sling-trolley in the lower hold of a ship (while I was in the midst of cleaning rust off the inner hull).

As mentioned more than once, I have two speeds (1) squirrel on crack and (2) asleep. No one in or outside of my family has ever been able to deal with that. So many times I crashed in class and just slid out of my desk and on to the floor ... dead to the world. Drove my teachers nuts ... because I always got As and it wasn't like I was disruptive .... but when my body switches off, that's it, I'm gone until I wake up again.

One of the cats managed to tip over a 12 foot step ladder not ten feet from my bed the other night. Slept right through it. Wasn't even on my regular meds .... still slept through it.
Damn Ricky, that's some serious sleeping.

I may be related to RWood and badgoodDeb, because going to bed early in the morning and getting up as late as possible is my preference as well. I figure if you get up before 7:00am then you should be going fishing or something.

The early bird may get the worm, but it's the 2nd mouse that gets the cheese.

I also had another roommate that worked the graveyard shift and it pissed him off to no end when he was awoken by our roommates alarm clock after he'd just fallen asleep.

One day the graveyard shift roommate was awoken by the alarm clock, and it just kept blaring and blaring. Finally he got up and went to yell at our other roommate, but nobody else was in the room. The jerk had left early but hadn't reset his alarm clock. So the graveyard shift roommate yanks the alarm clock out of the electric socket, but the damn thing still won't stop blaring. Out of complete frustration he throws the alarm clock onto the floor with great force and pieces of the alarm go flying everywhere -- but it still keeps blaring. It was at this point that he realized it wasn't the alarm clock that was blaring but was our fire alarm.
oh wow we had a similar situation! there were 8 of us in a 4 person room with 3 shift workers. the night it finally escalated, 2 of the girls ended up in jail and 3 of us ended up at the ER for stitches

I exactly know what you mean...
Wow, I am not alone with THAT kind of problem.
My sweetheart clutching at me and snoring logs and I am wide awake. No Fun.

When I am tired I start sleeping in the foetus position and wake up as a freefaller.
