So I dont know about anyone else here but this lockdown is making me tired. Usually I'm buzzing about going for walks or meeting with friends. Now I'm just stuck at home with hubby doing practically nothing.

My tiredness came to head last night when I fell asleep on the sofa with a full cup of tea in my hand... I'll let you fill in the rest lol. Let's just say it's been quite a while since my crotch has seen that much hot action grin. Hubby found it hilarious, came out with a good pun, "have you tead your pants again". Incase any of you are worried I didn't burn myself just gave me quite a shock.

Hope this gave you a laugh. Love to know if this has happened to any of you smile

Glad you're okay! I've only ever done this once with a mug of warm milk. DH however does it on the regular.

Just be thankful the warm wet sensation was only your tea grin

I sleep very badly and function on about 3 hours sleep nightly and this is often fractured. At some point I'll end up in the spare room where I can read and browse GN and FB etc.

We have a 'family' messenger thread where we all keep in touch. Yesterday dh asked me.....what's that you've posted on the family thread during the night.
Me: nothing.
Dh: yes you did at 4.08 am.

When I looked it was an 8 second video but no picture just sound. I'd obviously fallen asleep mid doing something...... And the 8 second video with only sound ???? I was snoring. Not even nice ladylike snoring. It was all sorts of gutteral noises. Everyone has been really kind and there have been none of the usual 'smart ar*ed' comments.

That made me laugh out loud ... thanks, BabyPink

That’s just what I needed a proper belly laugh?
I’ve not tipped anything over me.

But we used to have a phone by the bed,it rang and couldn’t understand why it was still ringing while I was saying hello.
I put the light on and realised I had my hairbrush in my hand!!

I'm always a bit of a dormouse but have been on my knees for a few weeks, since this lock down started. I know it's because I have been working long hours as a keyworker and looking after my DPs following mum's cancer diagnosis at Christmas; but I did not intend to spend my precious Annual leave sleeping for 12 hours a day! I think I shall have to start setting my alarm in the morning grin otherwise all those jobs I earmarked to do this week will never get done. smile

Unexpected little nap
Ending up with tea in lap
Jumping skyward in a flap
Enabling me to write a rap

I haven’t dropped a cup/glass of anything but did fall asleep once mid-post when moderating an online group and continued to type complete gobbledygook and bizarrely to click on ‘send’. I woke to some funny comments.

Glad your ok thoughsmile

Nannan2 Tue 14-Apr-20 15:03:38

Not with tea in hand,but i do nod off on sofa a lot& leave tea to go cold! ?

BabyPink Tue 14-Apr-20 14:56:24

Hehe I'm glad it cheered you all up smile Promise you'll be the first to know if I ever have another "little accident" lol. I enjoy making others laugh, even if it's at my own expense. Lifes too short to be unhappy.

I get two sleeps a night, I always start watching something on TV, only to wake up in the middle of a totally different programme, it take s me a while to figure out its not the same as before. Then it's about 1.00am so I make it up to bed. Unfortunately, having had such a long cat nap, I don't get back to sleep until about 4.00 am. And then I get up around 7.30 or 8.00 am. It's difficult for me to get out of this pattern, does anyone know if it would do any lasting damage. My cup of tea is usually on the table but is undrunk and cold.

I wasn't asleep, but had a hot cup of coffee in my hand when my cat jumped up onto my lap and knocked it. Thankfully I had a thick jumper on at the time so managed to pull it away from my chest in time to stop it burning me. Never seen the cat move so fast smile

grandtanteJE65 Tue 14-Apr-20 11:55:30

I too am glad you didn't scald yourself.

I upset a cup of coffee over myself in the same place when I was 14 and had to walk through a room full of adults with a nasty looking brown stain south of my navel on, to make matters even worse, an off-white woollen skirt.

jocork Tue 14-Apr-20 11:53:02

I regularly fall asleep doing all sorts of things but I make sure drinks are always on a coaster on the coffee table next to me. So far no disasters of the liquid spillage kind but as I usually have a laptop on my lap I have to be careful of liquids. I've destroyed 2 laptops - one by tripping over the cable when rushing to answer the phone and the other by putting it down on the floor then tripping over it and treading on the screen! So far laptop 3 is surviving. Let's hope this isn't famous last words...

NannyG123 Tue 14-Apr-20 11:48:23

I'm isolating with my h, so bored done so much cleaning tidying cupboards. Reading. Crosswords and even a adult colouring book. But get so tired I think it's lack of exercise as I'm normally out and about most days. But I'm not moaning, need to stay safe so we can see friends and family again.

What a cheerful start to my Gransnet day.
Thanks!

Thecatshatontgemat Tue 14-Apr-20 11:28:13

Nothing like that has ever happened to me, BabyPink, but don't be shy of reporting any others you have!
Excellent start to my day. Cheers ??

I thought the washing machine had solved the problem of red wine tipped onto the seat covers in the early stages of lockdown, when I was barely sleeping. Sadly, I see it is still apparent. He told me off initially about falling asleep with wine in my hand, til I burst into tears with the stress of it all

My wife says that I do that without falling asleep!

Pikachu Tue 14-Apr-20 08:08:44

Oh yes. I only just managed to wake up - but it was touch and go!
