Well yes, I have dosed off every once in a while. I test drove cars last summer and worked night shift so when 4:30 am rolled around I never failed to start to nod off. I don't think I ever actually fell asleep but one time I did dose off so much that my hands slipped off of the wheel lol. I was doing a 80 mph. test cycle so needless to say it scared me awake for the rest of the morning haha.
[QUOTE="xaos"]The only time I've ever slept at work was when under deadline and doing a 24-36 hour shiftJandurin
That sounds like hell.
I fell asleep on break once...that's all.OfficialJab
Like, during a 15 minute break? Well, it's happened like 3 or 4 times in my career, and not at all in the last several years, but when you are being well-paid to do work that you like and get it back in comp time, it's actually not so bad :)

Yeah. I've never had a job where something I did was important enough that it couldn't just wait until tomorrow. :lol:
Or, if it couldn't, it was something I could complete that day.
The only times I ever had it happen where when a president or CEO was slated to do press demos, and trying to make sure everything was spit and polished perfect for them to show.
I do security at my job on Saturdays from 6-8. I just sit in the store parking lot and sleep a little sometimes. And I have the radio volume loud so anytime they call me I'll wake up.

you only have a 2 hour shift and you sleep during it? That's hardcore.

From 6-8 I sit and the car and (I'm supposed to) watch the customers get to their cars safely and the same with employees when they leave at various points from 6-8. I have some button to call the police if something happens but their out of their mind if they think I'd risk my life to safe some complete stranger customer.

*salutes you*
That's the spirit! And if they ask where you were, make sure you say "sleeping fitfully" due to the crap seats on the vehicle.
When i was 19-21 i was working as fire fighter while continuing my studies, so anyways i slept many times at the casern while there was no alert, sometimes id just sleep in the truck to be ready to go!
I am blessed with a door to my office and no interior windows. I close the door, I disappear.
However, I have only taken ONE nap in my tenure here. I ws just beat for some reason. Closed the door, put my head in my arms, and snoozed on my desk for a solid half hour. I felt bad at first but then figured that working 60+ hour weeks I was entitled to a slumber once a year.
no i haven't done that thing though its allowed in our office i still dont do it.. and also that would be a bad impression to others if someone saw you sleeping
