Yes I have dozed off many times when I used to attend.  Most of the time kept the shades on as we used to have outside assemblies.  The thing was not to slide off the chair, drop your head forward or snore.

I've seen some brothers/sister hitting a serious lean to the left or right as they slept and then they'd jerk awake, only to lean again.

Some people had sneaky methods.  My cousin, while sleeping would turn the pages of the bible.  Some would lower there umbrellas so low that you couldn't see what was happening under there.

At the very last assembly I went too - I literally laid out a blanket on the lawn and unashamadly caught a 2 talk sleep.

Your stories.

LOL Lou Belle, that's my husband!!  In the afternoon especially, he'd fall asleep sitting straight up.  His mouth would fall open, his head would dip to the side, and sometimes he'd even snore *hah*   I had to poke him to wake him up, and then he would deny that he had been asleep.

I WANTED to sleep, but I was always wrangling kiddies, so no rest for me :-( .

heh heh

After lunch I always wanted to sleep. But my mom or dad would always nudge me.  When I grew up I still wanted to sleep but couldn't because of the stupid TALKER! Raising and lowering tone, pitch and volume on purpose to rouse any sleepy heads. Goddamn Talking Talkers!!  I managed to fall asleep once at the cow palace in san Francisco after a sleepless night at the Airport Holiday inn with my newborn son.  Right after lunch I dosed off before they even stood to sing.  I slept through the keynote talk and even this talking TALKER couldn't rouse me. I was almost knocked off my seat by my pissed off wife because I had been farting like a machine gun! LOL  No one around me could keep a straight face. It was a good idea I had to not sit with our own congo!

ANother time som whiny little milksop kid was asleep.  He was around 5 years old and our 7 year old son had been chewing a big wad of bubble gum. The usher had nagged us about the gum since the beginning of the session and I told him to leave us alone. It was keeping the little bugger quiet so he should bug off.  well after three times of nagging he came over again with the bubble gum police and with his little can in his his hand he demanded that I tell my son to get rid of his gum.  Our son was mad because it was just getting to that super soft and still sweet stage and now he had to spit it out.  He took outt he gum and was making a try at getting the gum into brother asslicker's can when he got this look on his face.  I laughed because i knew it meant nothing good.  He changed direction with the gum and planted it squarely on the head of the sleeping little milksop who was sitting in front of him!!!

The littel whiner woke up and didn't realize it for a moment, then he felt it and tried to get it off. He made a mess and a half with his hair.  His mom was livid and started to bitch at my wife about it while me and his dad just laughed.  The asslicker was all mad too! LOL  The sister told my wife she was an awful mother and my wife called her a dumb bitch.....

The trick is to paint wide open eyeballs on your eyelids so it looks like you're awake while you're snoozing away.
