Was watching the Yop advert, where people are sleeping in daft places, and it made me think.

I have fallen asleep on the loo before now, don't know how I didn't fall off, cos the loo is in the middle of the bathroom so no wall to lean on. I have also slept on the floor of the bathroom worse for wear, not daring to move far from the toilet, just in case

And I've fallen asleep on a bus, and woken up in a panic thinking I'd missed my stop.

Know I'm sure you PHer's have fallen asleep in alot worse places than that so come on lets hear them.

On the loo.

Passed out on my parents stairs after 3 Blastaways and 10 bottles of diamond white, woke up when mum shoved the hoover into my backside.

Bus shelter in Blackpool after an all dayer

Glasgows Central train station coming back from the Isle of Arran biology (in more ways than one ) school trip

A wardrobe at a party

Under the bed

Someones Back garden on twopenny lane in Preston

Beacon Fell after I got locked out of my car after a heavy night

Balanced across the back of Ians sofa,

Runcorn

Thats all I can remember.

I've fallen asleep on the loo too!

Umm other places - lectures (quite a lot tbh ), at the dinner table, under my desk, on trains.

I'm quite partial to the odd nap or two

The wheel,
Only happened once many years ago, drifted into the breakdown lane of motorway , woke up when I passed over the white lines, very lucky and I NEVER let myself get like that since then

In a skip in Docklands, woken up by some bemused builders at about 7am.

Not quite sure why I decided to sleep there, I remember thinking of hailing a taxi, then I must have seen the skip and thought, I know I'll sleep in that. Obviously I was somewhat inebriated at the time.

Fell asleep in a nightclub toilet while taking a dump, woke up to find I'd been sick inside my trousers.... that was a pleasant walk home.

Fell asleep on the last train home, ended up kipping on a station platform 70 miles from where I was supposed to be only to be woken up by a tramp who was trying to nick my shoes.

Fell asleep again in a nightclub toilet, they obviously didn't check the toilets before closing up, as I woke up at about 6am locked in. Went back to sleep on a bench seat in the club and scared the living shit out of the club owner when he came in to do some admin stuff a couple of hours later.

Got very, very drunk in London, last remember leaving a bar in Covent Garden, woke up 4 hours later in the doorway of a huge office building in Canary Warf with absolutely no idea how I got there. All my mates and my wife (who was waiting for me to turn up at home in Reading, which I think I was heading for when I went missing) thought I was dead.

I do the falling asleep thing quite a lot when I've been drinking, it'll probably be the end of me one day...

On my mates doorstep, blind drunk, freezing cold (sub zero temps wearing just a shirt). Fortunately I had taken the initiative to stuff my shirt with leaves for warmth - at the expense of a few garden plants

My mates PTSL when they found me a few hours later

Same thing here, but I found myself in the middle of a roundabout.

Woke up in a bush once but she shaves now.

I have no idea, I remember being sat on the radiator, I must have moved over to sit on the arm of the sofa and then just balanced across it.

Fell asleep on the Jubilee line when I lived in Kingsbury - woke up at Stanmoore, god knows what time, flat on my back on the floor of a deserted train with some bloke trying to sweep up around me. I loved London

Few more have come to mind.......

At a party I wandered off once and passed out in a corn field, I woke up in the morning staring staight up though the corn to a clear blue skies....my leg was in plaster as I'd broken it the week before, no sign of crutches, I must have miraculously gained by abillity to walk whilst drunk.

I too have done the falling asleep on the train thing, why they don't wake everyone up at each stop I don't know, I lived in Hither Green at the time......woke up as the train pulled into Rochester...ended up getting a taxi back, realised I'd lost my house keys and slept in my car.

As a student I used to work in a factory, on night shifts I'd climb to the top of a cooling tower, crawl under a water tank and kip there.

Ok, how's this. Not drunk, not on drugs, not tired, sitting in an upright kitchen chair I went to sleep while my wife was cutting my hair with an electric razor on number three. She woke me up to get me to tip my head the other way.

Front row in the 'theatre' at Butlins (sorry Susan Maughan). Mates left me and I woke up to find everyone had gone home and they were cleaning up.

In a mortuary.

Standing up in a doorway.

In an abandoned car.
