Ever try sleeping while standing up
 

Maybe I'll try that one night.

It's impossible unless your strapped in

did david blaine inspire this?

What is you lean against a wall?

HAHAHA, yep. :thumbsup

Wouldnt you fall/slide down?

Not sure, I mean, there are animals that sleep standing up, fish have to keep swimming when they sleep else they die, maybe we only sleep laying down because we are so used it? Maybe we can train ourselves to sleep standing up, I dunno. It might be fun to try though.

I cant get truley ALL the way asleep. But in the corner of my shower I can rest my head and in no time at all i'll have been in there for an hour and the water is cold

I think i'm just like half awake-half asleep...but not sure

Horses can literally "lock" their legs...it requires no effort...

"Horses have a unique system of interlocking ligaments and bones in their legs, which serves as a sling to suspend their body weight without strain while their muscles are completely relaxed. Thus, horses don't have to extent any energy consciously to remain standing - their legs are locked in the proper position during sleep."

although some horses lay down to sleep

:1orglaugh

COW TIPPING

HAHAHA...nice

although it'S a felony in most states now...

Just like Dwarf tossing here in canada :(

Dwarf tossing? :1orglaugh

Fish dont techniqually stand, the float.
Some animals cant lay down, and they have the advantage of four legs.

It can be done :)

It happened both while in army and in the shower when I was younger (I've never been a morning person).

I've seen a middle aged man slept for an hour standing up,
we were drinking beer at that time :)
:1orglaugh

I've fallen asleep sitting up in a chair... multiple times

back in high school I only slept maybe an hour a day, worked 2 jobs... I would be sitting trying to pay attention (sorta).. black out and next second everyones looking at me.

So it *might* be possible to sleep standing up :)

No but I did try sleeping with my head upside down agaisnt a wall.

Some of you guys really need to get some hobbys....

Is this him? :)

Birds have an equal ligament locking system in their legs AND toes. That's how they sleep in trees on windy nights.

As for humans, I've slept many a night standing up in Nam. And in the rain. It's not an impossible thing to do. With out the "locking systems" of other types, we have to depend on "locking" our frame against a stable object, like a tree or wall corner.

yeah in a bus once long ago sucks

Not yet and never thought of doing it.

walls aren't very comfortable pillows

a little bored?

try.. I used to do it all the time
party all night and then get to work at 6am

ahh.. the good old days

one classic example :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I've started to fall asleep while standing, but then I started to fall forward which woke me up.

How about sleepwalking? Any sleepwalkers here?
