    I used to work 2 jobs, both at the airport, 7 days a week. I would work 4am to 12pm, then 4pm to 12am, one job sun-th, the other wed-tues. and I would sleep everywhere. I decided to quit one job when I slept inside of an old x-ray machine.

    I remember I could sleep in my college class with my eyes wide open. I don't know how I did that before but now I can't seem to do it now at work.

    I'm lucky/unlucky enough to be able to sleep anywhere and under any circumstances. The only problem with being such a deep sleeper is that I need three alarm clocks to wake me up. I really need to avoid sleeping in public places though since I'm told by girlfriends and previous roommates that I have a tendency to yell profanities while sleeping.

    I worked a job in a mail room scanning packages/mail for anything nasty like booms, germs, etc... Once I inspected all the packages and sorted the mail, and someone came to deliver the mail, I had literally NOTHING to do for ~2hours till the end of the day. One day I put my feet up, said the hell with the 4 security cameras on me, as no one was actively watching them, just recording, and passed out. When you came into my building, which was separate from the main buildings(3 room stand alone structure with a switch to seal it in case I found something), it required you to go through two security doors. These doors would beep as you scanned your badge. I could hear the first beep and would wake up and have my feet down and chair pulled up to my desk before they made it to my door. It was a great job.

    This would be great for me since I type in my sleep and I have always wondered what I am typing. This would finally open the door to my deepest, darkest, inner nocturnal workings.....then again.....maybe not such a good idea.

    Maybe he's figured out how to comment from the 1980s, he's in the USSR, and his keyboard was indeed typing him.


    That would wholly account for the lack of good sense in the post.

    Brings whole new meaning to sleeping on the job, or on the keyboard in this case, the keyboard that happens to be at your job! So if you fall asleep on the keyboard, do the keys shut off?

    @ScottRose: The secret is to close your office door, lay down with your feet against the door, and spread some paper clips in front of you on the floor. If someone opens the door, it wakes you up, and you can pretend to be picking up paper clips.

    @KeyboardPillow_GitEmSteveDave:


    Genius indeed.


    I once had a cube, and the building had floor-to-ceiling toilet stall (I mean, the toilets were separated as if into different rooms, but the bathroom was laid out like any other office bathroom).


    So anyways, I used to sleep with my back to the door and my legs on either side of the toilet. I was 20ish at the time, so all of this seemed like a good idea to me.

    And you'll still wake up with QWERTY face and the keyboard will be stuck to your lip from the string of dried drool. Nice.
