Has anyone ever fallen asleep holding something in their hand?

Cari your post - and several others, have had me giggling.

Love the wooden banana .....and how sweet to wake up finding the dear little boy holding your hand Jane.

Glasses of wine. Too many to count. Only a few spillages though. I sit quite still in my sleep.

When I was younger I used to drink a bottle of wine on a Friday evening. Sometimes I fell asleep with a glass in my hand. Ruined a pair of white jeans doing this.

I know it's it old post but thought I'd share anyway. Had another incident last night. Made one of them herbal teas that help you sleep. Took it up to bed with me and well I guess they work too well because the next thing I know it's soaking through my nightie. Gone cold luckily but still gave be quite a shock.

Books, both in bed and in the bath.

Not quite the same, but I remember when I was little waking up in the very early hours of Christmas Day and opening my stocking. I found a chocolate Santa Claus and had started eating it when I fell asleep again. The next time I woke up, I had chocolate all over my hair and one cheek, not to mention the pillow. What a waste!

I have a mild form of narcolepsy and I can nod off like a flick of a switch. I fall asleep holding things all the time. Mainly small things like pens, books, remotes and one time on the toilet whilst holding my toothbrush. But there's been quite a few instances where I've dozed off holding a hot cup of tea/coffee and tipped them in me lap. The skin on my thighs don't even burn now they've just become accustom to it. The most dangerous time was when I was stood up chopping vegetables. Lucky the knife fell on the chopping board. I fell and hit my head, need 3 stitches along my eye brow. I'm 64 now and I've suffered with it since I was 48. I just try live life like any normal human being, even if it means the odd accident here and there.

In bed, my phone, more times than I care to admit.

And I wake up with a jolt to find that I'm about to report a post, or post a line of pure jibberish (not for the first time, some might say ).
