  I can’t fall asleep in odd places. I just can’t. I’ve never really even passed out anywhere strange, I usually make it to a bed or at least a chair.

  The strangest place I’ve fallen asleep is a row of seats on a flight, and really it’s just strange because I don’t sleep in strange places. It was two nitols, a Baileys, and two glasses of white wine that finally made it possible for me to sleep on that plane.

  I can’t think of any really strange places that I have fallen asleep.
  I do however have a real gift in that planes are like Valium and put me right to sleep. I have actually fallen asleep while the plane taxis. I like the sureal elememt of plane sleeping because it isn’t very deep so I sometime get confused on wheater I am asleep of not.

  Slept or passed-out?
  I had a bad bout of tonsillitis in highschool that made me fall asleep in odd places because I was trying to party through the pain… and I was a teenager at Mount Bachelor with almost no supervision. I fell asleep at the table in the lodge, on the stairs up to my condo (indoors luckily). I came home and had an emergency tonsillectomy the next day.
  Also in my youth, I drank a bottle of VO and some beers and woke up on my friend’s family’s balcony in a swank part of town. It was a hot stockton night, so sleeping outside was no big deal. What was sublime was how I woke. My whole body from the neck down was outside of the sliding glass door. My head was just inside on a pillow. Apparently drunk Tiffany put some thought into the sleeping arrangement before passing the eff out.

  Oh, and I should add that soberly and without any -itis, I can fall asleep almost anywhere. Proof> a short nap on a horse while in Bermuda.

  Four way tie between:
  -under a bridge in Cloverdale
  -on a park bench in Berlin near Stefan’s house
  -in an under-construction house near a national park in Utah.
  -In front of a supermarket at 125th and Lenox in NYC at 5 AM waiting for the m60 bus to get home

  @jon: Didn’t you sleep in a weird place on the campus of UC Santa Cruz?

  I did “sleep” in a pipe that ran under the road. It was really cold and once I was sure the fuzz was gone I graduated to sleeping under a portable building until a deer startled me. I finally ended up climbing through a dorm window and sleeping on the couch in the lounge. Lesson learned avoid the knoll.

  I passed out in the parking lot of a church on a sunday morning once (it was like 2 am of a night that obviously started on a saturday).

  Luckily my friends were good enough to look for me after a couple of hours and through me in the bed of a pickup that brought me to a couch not far away…

  I have this problem where I can’t fall asleep wherever I want. I’d say the strangest place was a Greyhound station years ago when I got stranded in San Francisco.

  @panasonicyouth: Fuck, you fell asleep in the S.F. Greyhound station and lived to tell about it?

  At a blackjack table in a So. Lake Tahoe casino. Not my most elegant moment.

  I fell asleep once in one of the demo beds in Ikea. I had kind of climbed in as a joke but woke up 20 mins later drooling on a pillow.

  Its ironic because, until i got on the meds, I had a hard time sleeping in my own bed at home.

  Jake, I fell asleep for two hours and magically did not get anything stole, nor was I bothered. I don’t understand it.

• 15 Nick // Mar 3, 2010 at 12:04 pm

  I have slept this way more than one time: with just my head and arms on my bed and the rest of my body on the floor.

• 16 Joe // Mar 4, 2010 at 6:07 am

  I can verify Nick’s claims. It looks kind of like he was in the middle of his evening prayers and decided “screw it, I’m just going to sleep right here”

  Waking up the next morning I felt like Willie Mays Hayes must have felt when he slid head first into second but came up about 6″ short and was then easily tagged out.
