    Many years ago when I was a student a bloke fell asleep on the bog in our flat.

    I can sleep just about anywhere, but never half way through a number two.

      I can sleep sitting at a keyboarzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
      why is it when people fall asleep at keyboards they always fall asleep resting on the z key??

      the m or n key is more central and therefore a more likely target

        Sleep ?

        What's that ?

        I've always suffered from insomnia. I find it almost impossible to "switch off", until the brain chemically "coshes" me after 1.5 hrs lying in bed awake.

        I've tried relaxation therapy, going to bed earlier (then getting up because I was bored), going to bed later, counting sheep, counting nothing, doing checklists, not doing checklist, and nothing seems to work.

        A few cans of something though and BAM ! out like a light. The only problem there (and I avoid mid-week drinking), is that I then wake up at stupid o'clock (7.30am on a Saturday !) and come mid-afternoon, I feel tired and ready for the afternoon kip...
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          Drink induced sleep is no good, your brain needs to defrag.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Get the missus to pop a few kids out. You'll soon be tired enough.

              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                      I can't sleep on planes.

                      But that's mainly because I've been told sleeping in the preasurised cabin of aircraft could cause me a serious case of death.
