Has anyone ever fallen asleep holding something in their hand?

Yes. Cup of tea.

Resulted in bad language.

My book most nights

And me pantglas

Frequently - but it's usually only a hanky! I get woken by my nose running, grab my hanky and then hold onto it in case I need it again. More often than not I wake up with it still gripped firmly in my hand.

Years ago daughter no1 brought home a boy for the first time, we’d had a few people around for the evening, and were sat around chatting later, poor lad must have been exhausted, dozed off and dropped a pint of beer, went everywhere!

Oh yes, I have also had a rude awakening with a full cup of tea in my lap

My kindle ..only to be woken when it hits the floor

Yes! The kindle thing is nerve wracking. Thank goodness for carpets.

Same as kitty and pantglass
My book ends up on the floor

Sarah65 !!! That poor lad.

The first thing my daughter did when she went to dinner at her partner's house for the first time, was spill her cup tea on his new carpet. Still together though.

Well, of course, if Ive got the lover sleeping with me.........

@nanaK54 @Gonegirl hope it had gone cold.

Thats enough of that!

that to eglantine the hussy

Yes. Mine had gone cold AS97. I take ages to drink a mug of tea anyway.

I have nodded off with a cup if tea in my hand and not spilt a drop!

You wait.... your turn will come.

DH is always dropping his iPad and then insisting he had not nodded off!

My phone. All the time. Hit me in the face once. Serves me right

My MIL was always falling asleep with a lit cigarette. Numerous burns in her clothes but didn't set light to the house thankfully.

A full glass of sherry. What a waste !

Using my tablet in bed, it hits me on the nose.

Yes, cup of coffee, cell phone, steering wheel, and tongue. Was alone and startled for the first two, scared with the third (pulled over for a power nap) and mildly amused for the last. Debate was so heated that no one noticed I'd stopped participating.

In a hotel room

A body part belonging to my boyfriend

Badly , when my mother in law's head popped round the door.
