In a soapy bath full of hot sick.
I once came home drunk and tried to run myself a bath, as the shower was broken. I then fell asleep in said bath. And, as a consequence of subsequently waking up with hot soapy water in my mouth and nose, I threw up.
It was quite frankly a lovely experience and I would highly recommend it to everybody.

Happy New Year
Just thought I'd be the first to say it...

And not the worst place I slept but probably the weirdest. With an English Mastiff at a party. It was asleep in front of a fire and I used it as a pillow. And no, I didn't marry it - that was a different dog...

Cheers

On top of, and inside, the ex
It didn't matter so much because she was asleep as well. Never try having sex at the end of a long shift, it will just end up like that. Still, was pleasant enough to wake up though, we just shagged then instead.

An odd place he woke up
Praise be to the public school system and its lack of structure and discipline, for many days were spent fucking off and sharing stories instead of doing real work. One of my favourite teachers told me about his friend's bachelor party of several years ago. My teacher and his friends, in their infinite wisdom and consideration for the celebrant, decided to surprise him. The groom, who had been fast asleep, woke up the next morning without his wallet, cell phone, clothes, or any belongings, in a state that was not New York, on the day of his wedding.

Evil bastard, but I liked him. :)

Listy Listy - I don't even drink!
Some places I've woken up in:

Middle of a field by the A329M

Middle of the woods ( later found to be MoD land... oops )

Several cars, in many places

On top of a fallen Christmas tree

On my keyboard. Many many times.

Several Exam rooms

Couple of pavements

Head upside down hanging off an armchair

Swansea. I got on at London, and was meant to get off at Reading. Ticket collector didn't seem to wake me up.

Gatwick Airport, on the 191 bus that was meant to be a 5 minute journey in Bracknell.

Several Front lawns

My shed at what would have been my teenagerhood home.

The bin cupboard for the block of flats I lived in as a kid

On the floor, in many houses, in many towns and cities. Usually responding to someone "accidently" treading on me.

On top of a block of garages. Corrugated plastic ceilings are a bugger to get off of.

During sex. God that was embarassing.

Those electric things that sat outside most flats... transformers? no idea what they're called. They were always fenced off and had giant grey boxes in them surrounded by gravel.


I like sleep y'see.

The frog.
New year's party, 2005, drank a bottle of champagne and about eight other things, and fell asleep right smack in the middle of the crowded living room floor. Face down in a five-foot-long neon green stuffed frog.

People kindly stepped over me for three hours; after which I got up, realized I was sober, and fixed it by drinking the remaining liquor in the kitchen.

one time in high school
I managed to fall asleep in class during a presentation on sexual assault.

I was promptly awakened by the sound of my head hitting the desk. everyone around me began to chuckle and we all got shouted at by the school's headmaster (me in particular) for making light of sexual assault.

It's not that I found sexual assault funny, I just saw it as quite fucking boring.

Under the condiment counter in the self-service restaurant on a Portsmouth-St Malo ferry. With a doctor I pulled on the dancefloor with different coloured eyes.

I have talent
Being a ridiculously fatigued individual as a result of anemia and relaxation medication for anxiety, I have the ability to fall asleep pretty much anywhere. My favorite: sitting on a bed with four other people watching television. I was directly behind a friend of mine, so I leaned my head and one arm upon his shoulders, with the rest of me propped up in the lotus position.

I then remember waking up in my room, accross the hall, very confused.

Having acquired
a sleep disorder, I fell asleep in a wide number of places, quite often simply through the act of sitting down. The most impressive of these was also one of the shortest - I was shaken awake, having fallen asleep on the deck of a boat.

In the mid afternoon.

On a rolling sea.

Standing up.

Day after my parents wedding; managed two days without sleep, and then slept through several fast jets, including F16s. I consider it quite an achievement.

Pacific Coast Highway
I was on a long bicycle ride down (and back up) State Route 1 in California. It's terribly scenic, and I was really enjoying the views. Got about 25 miles from where I was staying, turned around to find I'd had a strong strong tailwind the whole time. And it's up hill all the way back. After an hour or so I was so exhausted I pulled over, threw the bike in the ditch, and had a nice half hour nap right there in the gravel. Nobody stopped to see if I was dead, which was fine with me. Feeling rejuvenated, I continued on my way until a flat tire (and no tools to fix it) resulted in hitching the last 10 miles back.

I'm an Olympic-standard sleeper.
At college a few years ago(!) my falling asleep in lectures was legendary and so was ignored. In fact during one lecture I stayed awake but my mate fell asleep and got a bollocking! I fell asleep during one of the final exams but still got a 2:1 so yah boo sucks.

Even more impressive is the fact that, having been this way since my teens which is an even longer time ago, I've recently been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoeia ( I stop breathing involuntarily while asleep) so none of it is my fault! Yah boo sucks again, I think.

Walk-in freezer!
Err, on my year-out from my bachelors degree in Civil Engineering, I worked on site as a junior engineer on the construction of a large supermarket in Ryde on the Isle of Wight.

I was seeing this girl who lived in Ryde, and one Saturday afternoon in February decided I would see her and catch the last hovercraft or catermaran home. Things were going well until I realised it was midnight and panicked. She drove me to the ferry to see the last catermaran disembarking. Shit. So I asked her to drop me off at a local hotel which she did and drove off. Forgot that the Isle of Wight 'shuts-up-shop' at about 5pm. No-one answered. Double-shit. So I decided to walk the short 1 mile to a local club that I knew some mates were at. Bouncers wouldn't let me in. Triple shit. So walked the mile back to site at about 0230 and decided I would find somewhere to stay on site. Walked onto site and found a big walk-in freezer (not yet plugged in) to camp down for the rest of the night... Until the security guard and his leary looking dog discovered me after hearing some noise and rather sheepishly I explained the story and that I worked there. He let me sleep the remaining 3 hours of his shift in the portacabin.

Never been so cold in all of my life.

In my first year of uni
and mainly down to Limpetgirl, I was getting to bed at any time between 2 and 4 in the morning. So even a 12.00 lecture was hell to stay awake in... resulting in me dozing off one Tuesday in a French cinema lecture, and waking up to find the entire room (including the lecturer, who giggled at everything but somehow didn't find this at all funny) staring at me.

And while I was in sixth form I managed to fall asleep in General Studies and stay out for a good few minutes. It was a warm room and had about 15 computers in it running at full power... and we were talking about something totally pointless (covers General Studies as a whole but it was maths or something). The teacher actually poked me to wake me up.

I worry about what this says about my attitude to education, especially as I doze off occasionally in lectures in Switzerland (year abroad) and I think it may be a deportable offence.

Frankfurt Airport
Well, it wasn't really a strange place to crash in itself, but it was certainly a strange night. I walked all over the place (and it's a bloody big airport) looking for the best spot to crash and concluded that by far the premium spot consisted of five nicely upholstered benches just outside one of the cafes. They were all of course taken. You'd think when designing an airport that they might give consideration to people crashing there by making a high proportion of their seating crash-friendly, but no, these were the only suitable spots in the entire place. So I settled down nearby and waited for one to become available...

Sure enough, one of the inhabitants moved off to catch an early flight, so I snaffled his bench, felt very smug and settled down for some much-needed shuteye.

A couple of hours later I woke up feeling decidedly warm and snuggly. This was unusual seeing as it had been bloody freezing all night. I soon discovered the source of heat. Did I mention that these benches were very close together? I was being hugged by the fat, sweaty, hairy man on the bench next to me, who in his unconscious state must have thought I was his wife or something.

Not an experience I'm keen to repeat, but hey, it was £200 cheaper than a direct flight.

someone down there reminded me
I once went for a quick smoke with someone in my 6th form days. We only had lunch break so we toked it down super fast and wandered back. For the last ten or so minutes of break I just giggled constantly and carried on doing so up to the door of my next lesson. Now this lesson happened to be a A-Level mock exam, so i had to get some composure. I didn't quite manage it and fell asleep in the second row back of a room with less than 15 people in.

Best part is that I actually managed to score higher than almost everyone in the class!

Friend of mine
Not me, as I wouldn't be this silly.

On a night out, ended up going for a drunken wander up the road. Got a bit tired, as you do, realised he didn't know where he was and thought he'd have a kip as we all know things are much better when you've slept on it.

He didn't choose the road, or a comfy verge. He chose one of those yellow plastic grit boxes (with grit) where he curled up (he is quite small) for a few Z's.

At least he made sure he didn't freeze.

Sorry, wrong number
I have *tried* to sleep on the floor at Euston station a few years ago after missing the last train home , preferring to see the end of a gig.

At about 3am, the place was pretty much still and quiet, the only people allowed in had to have a valid ticket and most were trying to grab a bit of shut-eye. Then one of the phones in the centre of the concourse started to ring........and ring. And fucking ring.
After about 10 minutes, I'd had enough and strode over to answer the damned thing.....only for it to stop ringing just as I reached it.

I'd just laid down when it started again. Oh, how "they" must have laughed at such a jolly jape as we played this game a couple of times more. Then I went and spoiled it for them by going to every one of the 30 telephones and leaving them dangling off the hook.
And pissed in their photo booth.
