Well, just thought I’d share a particularly perverse occurance in my day today.
Had my 6 month check up at the dentist this afternoon. I’m laying in the dentist’s chair, her hands toiling away, scraping at my teeth. I relax, close my eyes. The next thing I know she is tapping me on the forehead. She, noticably flustered, asks me if everything is OK. Everything was, except that I dozed off in the dentist’s chair. I was quite comfortably sleeping during my cleaning, no anesthetic or gas, just the comforting whir of the polishing tool, and the occasional scratch of a instrument. The dentist explained she feared I had passed out, or I was in some type of medical distress. My sleeping was a totally unnerving experience for her, guess she’d never heard of that happening before. Odd no?
And FYI, I’m not narcoleptic or especially exhausted.
I always get drowsy in the dentist chair, I knowmy sister does as well. And, I thought this topic was about something else, so I’ll just leavenow and not say antything else.
Any similarity between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
Never had that happen with the dentist. But I have come very close to falling asleep whilst having my hair cut. Realizing that could lead to disastrous results, I somehow find the barber’s chair to be a most relaxing respite.
This thread is potentially very interesting, I think. What’s the most unusual place people have found themselves falling asleep? Or, perhaps a better word than unusual would be “interesting.”
Good topic.

When my daughter was born I decided not to use any painkillers. Now, for most of the labor, natural childbirth is no big deal, but there is a point just before the birth when it gets pretty intense. Anyway, the weirdest time I ever fell asleep was during full labor in the two or three minutes between the peak of one contraction and the peak of the next one. Guess I was a little tired.
I fell asleep on a caller once. Dozed off in the middle of a modem reinstall and woke up in the middle of a windows reinstall. Guess there’s some things you don’t need to be awake for. Or shouldn’t be…
I think you might have to qualify your statement a bit, cher. I would definitely have to classify my natural childbirth experiences as a “big damn deal”.
Actually, cher, Lucretia, I am not sure that is that unusual, I too delivered both my children naturally, and I nodded off between contractions, particularly the stronger ones that were getting closer together. Your body must be exhausted.
Any similarity between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
I did too. When my contractions were a minute apart, I’d fall asleep between then. Of course, this was the tail end of 52 hrs of labor, and an hour and a half of pushing. PUUUUUUUSHHHHH snooze PUUUUUUUUUUSH snooze
