It's a bad habit of mine in the evenings, especially if I've had a glass of wine with dinner 🤣

At a party mid conversation .
I felt a complete fool .
No one said anything !

No, never, I only sleep in bed.

When I returned home after a major operation I kept falling asleep with tea or coffee mugs in my hand. DH got upset and would scrub the sofa cushions clean. I would take myself off to bed after it happened so that I could sleep properly.

I fell asleep unknowingly with the control for the convertibles hood in my hand and when `I woke with a start I pulled it and the roof went back as we were going down a very steep hill.

I have been known to fall asleep with coffee in my hand or a melted chocolate.

Oh yes but usually only a cold one. Can't hold a hot one for long now- hands playing up badly.

Oh yes once with a cup of tea . Once was enough never done it again.

Better than falling asleep with a lit cigarette in your hand!

My grandad did that and his arm dropped to the gas that supplied the gas poker,he was partly disabled and had knocked the tap with his foot. My gran went into the lounge to find him fast asleep with a Woodbine in one hand and his trouser leg smouldering. After that, he was only allowed to smoke when she was there and his chair was moved.

Yup. Usually red wine and never spilled a drop 😉

Often! Sit down with a cuppa and wake up with cold tea intact except on one occasion when also had laptop on knees and that was a very expensive cup of tea.

Did it when i dozed off with a cup of tea.😂

Nannan2 Thu 26-Oct-23 13:08:07

Luckily i dont have it red hot.

Granmarie- dont get too worried, it happens often once you get to a certain age- late afternoon or early evening short naps are well known to give you a second wind for rest of the day.

Good because spilling wine is a crime 🤣

Thank you, Nanann2.

I wasn't too worried about it happening when I was on the sofa at home, but I was a bit concerned and truly embarrassed at dropping off in the nail salon last week.
My sisters persuaded ( bullied!) me into phoning for a GP appointment, so I had a telephone consultation today, I've to go for blood tests soon with a follow up face to face appointment.
