It is from experience. I found that as I grow even older it happens. It never happened when I was younger except just before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I used to fall asleep at work when I was working doing payroll and benefits for a school system. They told me after that I was falling asleep siting up, with my hands on the keyboard. I didn't know it. I did know I was "close" to nodding off but would wake up right away. That was not the case I was actually falling asleep and my co-workers covered for me but never told me until after I was diagnosed. I didn't realize the extent until I fell asleep while driving back from lunch. My car drifted off the road and dropped down enough to wake me up and I was able to pull back out onto the road. Luck was with me because that happened at one of the only small strips along the road that wasn't a very deep ditch.Are you speaking from experience?
I'm not at the fall asleep in a chair stage yet, but my DH is. I pick on him & tell him he falls asleep every time he sits down.
That's what my husband had for dinner about ten nights ago when we were on our way home from Texas, staying in yet another hotel and I couldn't drive that day (vertigo). Bought some in the little store in the hotel.View attachment 602925
^Recipe for “I don’t know” and “I don’t care”
I don't have a chair, but a couch. I was at that point one evening watching the pilot episode of a show on one of the streaming services. Had that moment where I felt my head nod and caught it jerking back up right away, you know that feeling. Then I was confused about the show, what happened to them playing cards in the basement? Who are these people? Well, that quick nod and immediately catching myself falling asleep turned out to be about six half hour episodes longAre you speaking from experience?
