re: Who has fallen asleep at their desk at work?

When I worked for the state, I started my job by working really hard and getting a ton of work done. This was frowned upon, and I was asked to slow down. It got to a point where I actually had a blanket and a heater at my desk and slept often. Thankfully, I was smart enough to leave and not let it completely ruin my work ethic for the future.

You were getting paid to sleep and you found that to be a bad thing?

When I first started my job (16 years ago), I was having trouble adjusting to my new grown-up schedule. I'd still stay up all hours like a student and then drag arse into work completely exhausted.
My office was in a secluded portion of the building, so foot traffic into my workspace was pretty sparse throughout the day.
One day I was sitting at my desk, trying not to nod off. My head started dropping and it would jolt me awake. After a few of those - my head dropped hard, I had a big jolt and suddenly felt totally refreshed.
However, the back of my neck was pretty achy and the front of my shirt was a little damp -- and it was 45 minutes later.
I was so terrified that someone saw me sleeping (and apparently drooling) at my desk, but thankfully nobody did.
Started going to bed much earlier after that.

Question should be be "Who hasn't fallen asleep at their desk at work?".

lol Well not at the time, but it's not how I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Also, the money was terrible, and the commute was long.

I do all the time, I have warning signs when somebody is coming so I never get caught

Same here. I just shut and lock the door.

My first year as a teacher I fell asleep while the kids were taking a test. I woke up when the kids started making fun of me. They teased me about that for months.
It wasn't my fault, I had a ridiculous airline experience the day before.

Had a job in the summer when I was a senior in high school and freshman in college where our crew always took naps. Get to work at 6, get to job site for 7 because we always stopped for breakfast. Break at 9. Lunch and nap from 10-2. Leave job site at 3 and clockout at 4. Good times.

Worked at a Lowe's distribution center one summer. Had a really late night, got to work for my 12 hour shift at 6am. Exhausted. We were loading trailers with goods (all kinds of stuff) and guys would build fake walls in their trailer to nap in, then watch out for each other. Felt like building a fort...
Also convinced me to go back to college after having dropped out for a semester.

Never at my big boy job.
My last job working for a local city I have literally got to work, fell asleep till lunch, ate lunch, went back to sleep, left for home.
If you get 3 or more people to join you, you can legit call it "Team Building"
FYI

A guy I work with does it every day. He is the laughingstock of the office.
