Nashville is a relaxed, laid-back town. Even 20 floors up. Newslink.

Taking a snooze is a good way to beat job stress.

But not if you’re a window washer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A window washer working on a downtown Nashville high-rise building apparently fell asleep on the job, authorities say.

The man, whom fire officials did not immediately identify, was cleaning the glass on the 20th floor of the Fifth Third Bank building on Church Street Friday when several onlookers noticed he was not moving.

The man came to after firefighters tugged on his ropes, then held up a sign from inside the window to get his attention. The worker lowered himself to the sidewalk, where he was examined by paramedics.

Let’s make a list of other places/times/occassions when one ought not fall asleep.
