Yeah, There was a time when i was waiting for my downloads to finish. It's taking awhile so i fell asleep on my desk where my computer is just right in front of me. I always stay up late either to download or to chat so sometimes there are times when i can't fight the sleepiness anymore so i end up sleeping on my desk. [modstar]
Hi modstar, I have tried it too, but i wont let it happen again for i suffer stiff neck afterward. When i feel sleepy i go to a comforable place like my bed or in the sofa. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
I don't keep at my computer when i get too sleepy. I straight away stop whatever i was doing, shut down my computer, and go to my precious bed. I like my sleep so i make sure i have a comfortable bed and no noise at all in the house. I won't even sleep on the sofa. I think it's important to have a good night's sleep to avoid having any bad moods in the day and have well replenished energy for better concentration. [antioxidant]
I agree with you antixidant, i do also shut down my computer when i feel tired already and sleep in my bed. Having a goos sleep make my day more relax and energetic at work. thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
For the busy work last year, I used to sleep in front of the computer in my company, the whole night I sleep there, so tired and so unconfortable. :( At that day, I have some work must finish and my boss order me that, no matter how, tomorrow I must see the date you collece. Oh, it was a real nightmare. I remembered when I heared what my boss said to me, I really want to bite his nose. [sophia1984]
Hi sophia 1984, OMG, i think i will not do it even if my boss tells me to do it, i will resign instead of doing it.lol. May i know if you finish your work on time? Well in that case i wont let it happen to me, i will tell my boss in my honest opinion that i cannot do it in a day but give me another day instead.happy [Margarit]
well, i don't think it's a good feeling to sleep in front of the computer cuz it's really cold out of the mattress. and i think it's really not comfortable to sleep in the desk in front of the computer. i will get stiff neck,muscle pain in my hand as well.so would never do it again. well,i guess it's also not healthy to sleep in front of the computer also not healthy to stay long time in front of it. as i read in the newspaper that we will get hurt for staying in front of the computer. the radiation will decrease the activities ability of the germ cell as well as the ovum. so just try to get away from the computer,for our health and for comfort. [kuer86]
Hi kuer86, I agree with you, computer will affect our health so we must take good care of our health for our health is wealth. Dont stay long in front of it and make an effort to protect yourself from harmful radiation. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Hello margarit! I never tried to sleep in front of my computer and never intended to. I have experienced just sitting for 3 hours in front of the computer how much more if I sleep there. happy new year! [aisaellis22]
Hi aisaellis22, It is not healthy too if you sleep infront of the computer but anyways, i have experience it for i wanted to finish my work on time. Thanks for the respond and happy new year to you too.happy [Margarit]
Hello There! Oh yes! Definitely! But the worst part was I slept when I was in the office. It was really embarrassing. I remember I was a chat support at that time. We got a lot of sessions, I accommodate four sessions at a time and I was so sleepy despite of I keep coming back and forth in the laboratory and my workstation. So, I took a 30 minutes break to take a nap in front of my computer, on my workstation… then I woke up after an hour and a half… actually, my team leader knows but I was so sleepy that he just let me sleep just this one time… but the prize! They took my picture while sleeping! And was posted in one of the sleepiest person in the office… I can't help it because we were on GY (Graveyard) shift at that time. Goodluck and thanks for the discussion! Happy Mylotting! Cheers! [jesbellaine]
Hi jesballaine, Good thing that your team leader is very supportive to you, I know how it feels to be in graveyard shift because my brother is also a call center agent and he always complain on the first week of His work, for he feel very sleepy and he cannot sleep also during the day. So what they did is they have an hour brake for sleeping each one of them. Thanks for the respondhappy [Margarit]
Yea, i tried some times and successful at times. But i will not prefer sleeping in front of a computer. [shahanas]
Hi shahanas, Well i think it is unavoidable if you really needed to do it, especially if you wanted to finish your work on time using the computer. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
I have tried sleeping in front of my computer when I was still working in a call center. I do that whenever I'm on break for 10 minutes just a power nap. Anyway I prefer sleeping in a comfortable bed than in front of a computer. [Yori88]
Power nap, wow i think i need that too Yori. I like to be with my computer but since i get easily tire of just looking in the monitor i ended up sleepy all the time. Maybe power nap is a solution for me. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
For me I will not say I tried, but it was automatically slept on it, due to overtime working in office hahahaha. I already used to it. And I have my own cushion too:p, It reminds me in my design class...of all of us agreed to bring our own small cushion pillow. So when we have to stay back in the class to finish our project, it really helps a lot...But actually the disadvantage sleeping in front comp, the radiation level is very high. If possible try to avoid any mobile or cellular phone or any radiation equipment and keep away maybe to other room or far from your bed or sleeping area....otherwise not good for our health. [phalz81]
Thats an interesting fact phalz81, i know that their are times that our body needs to rest so we automatically slept in anyplace we are an the moment including infront of the computer. Good thing that you dont suffer stiff neck like what i have experience before. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
I have never fallen alsepp in front of my computer before and I hope I never do either! Maybe if I sat on a couch with my laptop I might, but I am sitting at a desk so there is little chance of me dozing off I think. I can imagine how sore someone would be when they woke up if they did though. I am not one of those people that falls asleep no matter where anyway. I like to keep things simple and sleep in my bed as intended! happy [James72]
Hi james, Good for you that you dont experience it, ive done it before and i dont want it to happen again, not because of what i experience but it has also side effect of radiation which is harmful for our health. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Yes. More than once. At work. happy Just don't tell it to my boss.... Shhhh....lol [margaux08]
Bye the way we almost have the same name..happy [Margarit]
sleeping in front of a computer is very very disgusting. it wont give us the actual effect of a sleep.we will be in a half slept state.so i make sure dat i never fell asleep while in front of a computer. [abhilashsoman]
You are right abhilashsoman, sleeping in that position will not give you a good rest that is need for the body but it gives some muscle pains like stiff neck. thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Yeah... I totally agree with you. It is a luxury and comfort to sleep in bed after all. If i am really tired i need to lie down in order to sleep. This will the refain my energy level. Compared to sleeping up straight and especially in front of a computer, not only will it give me stiff neck and muscle pain, it also gives me a massive headache, and hindering me from doing things troughout the day. The only time i remembered sleeping in front of the computer is when i had afternnon classes and i was having a break. I had nowhere to go and was feeling sleepy as i am a person who take afternoon naps. So i decided to go to the library and use its computer facilities to do some research for my assignment. In the end i took a nap right in front of the computer and it does help a little in reboosting my energy but nothing beats to sleep in bed and to snuggle up under the covers especially on a rainy night! [dramalurve]
Hi dramalurve, Headache is one the things that i really hate to have for i cant do my work properly, I guess we should not let our body suffer from pains when we feel we need to sleep, we should go to bed or a sofa that can give us a comfortable place to sleep is the best thing that we can give to ourself. thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
i couldn't if i tried. I'd just sit and stair like a zombie [lovinlifemindless]
Hello. Well I do often feel sleepy when I am in front of the computer, especially if I am trying to do some work! But I have never actually fallen asleep in front of the computer. If I get so tired that I really need to sleep, then I usually just get into bed! I am pretty useless when I am very tired and need my sleep. I can imagine that sleeping at the computer is pretty painful though when you do wake up - can't be good for the neck or shoulders. Happy myLotting happy [UK_Shree]
Hi UK_Shree, Good thing that you care about your health as well as your body friend, you dont need to undergo some pain like what i have suffer in doing that thing. I wish i dont do it for i have many option not to do it actually. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
oh really..sleeping infront of the computer create stiff neck and muscle pain? well..your right margarit..most of the time i fall asleep infront of my computer and i find it hard..and really want to bring the computer inside my room..but everybody at home want's to used computer the reason why this computer stays in our livingroom... [worldbestwriter2008]
Hi worldbestwriter2008, i guess you should buy a new one like a laptop so you can carry it everywhere you want. My computer is located in the kitchen very unique i guess. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
I haven't tried sleeping infront of my computer on purpose. But I have fell asleep infront of it by my head just dropping down and the next thing I know I wake up and a few hours have passed by. It is not the best or most comfortable place to sleep but it happens to me before I even realize that I am that tired. [sunshinelady]
So you just fall asleep without paying attention to it. Well in my case i do it purposely. I waited the file that i downloaded in the internet and i just want to take a nap but it indeed up of falling asleep in a longer hours which i suffer stiff neck. I hated myself for i can always go to my bed of in the sofa instead. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Yea i'd have to agree i've done it before doing homework late or paying some bills or something. It gets you super droggy and not really good comfort when you wake up either. You can only really sleep on your hands so much and then bam!! Slam your head into a keyboard. Damn that hurts. [dookie03]
Ouch! luckily i do it intentionally, i waited the file that i downloaded in the net for it take an hour left to finish downloading, so laydown my head in front of the computer for i just wanted to have a nap while waiting but it ended up falling asleep, my mom wakes me up for it is mourning already. Too bad for i cannot move my neck for almost a week. I will never do it again i swear. Thanks for the respond. happy [Margarit]
I don't think I have fallen asleep in front of the computer but I have gotten close to it before. I used to use the computer until I could not stay awake any longer, and then I would sleep for three hours or a whole day and do it all over again. [SomeCowgirl]
Hi somecowgirl, i guess you can control yourself very well for you manage to go a comforable place to sleep. I do the same thing too. but sometimes i do something st*p*d like waiting for something like downloading on the net so i nap infront of my desktop and ended sleeping for the whole day. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Never it's just way too uncomfortable. I can't put my head in that position for hours or else I would end up with the same pains as you. Plus I don't really like the idea of sleeping in front of such a powerful electronic device. Plus my computer desk is like really untidy with a lot of books and cd's all over the place so it's impossible. And to top it off there are a lot of mosquito in the room with my computer. So doing this has never crossed my mind. Thanks for sharing though. Now I would never sleep there. [zackyo7]
hI ZACKYO, Good thing that you dont tried doing it for it is not really convinient and worst is that is it not good for the health too. Better find some place that give more comfort and give you a bettersleep. thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Not on purpose I haven't and yet I do it quite often.. LOL! You are right it is very uncomfortable and gives me a stiff neck and ends up hurting my back more! You would think I would learn too but nope I do it at least once a week if not more. [Ithink]
I think you are very tired already and your body needs some rest. Just go for it, sleep anywhere you like. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Well, I have been known to fall asleep in front of my Computer a time or two. I usually try not too though as it is definately more comfortable to fall asleep in my bed, but it does happen. As I am insulin dependant Diabetic there have been times I have done this if my Blood Sugar levels go to high or low, but I do agree it can become quite uncomfortable for sure. [KrauseHome]
Oh , i am sorry to hear that, i guess you should always take car of your self and dont work too much in the computer for it is not good for the health. thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Oh I did...several times before...lol! That was when I have my daily chat w/ my ex and we usually chat at very long hours. We have different time zone (he's in Europe, am in Asia) and we have 7 hrs difference. There were times that am very sleepy already while still chatting w/ him as it is night time to where I was and it was still afternoon in his. I told him am sleepy and want to take a break and he'll just say I can take a nap and he just there watching me.....lol. So I took naps and sometimes real sleep. [silverjam]
That would be rediculoues if I did it w/o his consent but in the contrary he's even the one telling me to get a nap.....in front of the computer, as I told you he's just there watching me. He don't want me to go and am sleepy at times because its night time in my place while its still late afterrnoon in his'. We agreed I do it so that's not a big deal to us. [silverjam]
Yes I guess you've learned a lesson by doing that. I do not sleep like that at all because I know when I wake up I would never be refreshed by doing so. The best way to sleep is lying and not sitting. [rsa101]
I know that lying down is the best position in sleeping so that our body is more relax after wards. But sometimes, there are things that is unavoidable for we dont have the time and comfortable place to sleep. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
No, i never tried sleeping in front of the computer.. if i already feel sleepy then i shut down my notebook and go to bed.. =) [gracie04]
Good choice gracie04, Dont try to do it for it is not good for the health. Radiation from the computer is dangerous. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
No i dont think that i ever have i think its because my bed is only 4 feet away from my computer and that when i do feel sleepy i just hop right in bed and sleep no questions asked. i can imagine your neck pain though because whenever i fall asleep on like a plane ride or something else sitting up my neck does get stiff. thanks for asking such a great question too. btw it was very funny how you endend your question when i feel sleepy i find a comfortable place to sleep. loved it well keep up the good work i wish that i had 1484 responces great job!!!! [Thatchdog]
Hi thatchdog, It seems that you are new here, welcome to mylot. I think you mis interpreted it, the number you see after my name is the total number of my post here, it is not the total of responses i got. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
I almost do that! because i always late to sleep in front of my computer....i tried it once but i never do it again my mother never let me do it..... [inuceres]
appreciate your advise,.. happy posting! [inuceres]
Its pretty funny question.When I am tired at work i dont find any good place than my pc to take a nap.I dodge of sometime while i am typing.Sometime if there is lots of stuff i hate to sleep on my pc table. [mepaurav]
lol I wanted to have a sense of humor mepaurav, good thing that you find it as on of them.w00tAnyways, when we are at work we dont have a choice but sleep infront of it. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
only when my eyes began blurred from staring at the screen for too long a time would i take a little break and rest my head in front of the computer. it's quite hard to fall asleep whilst sitting upright. I'd get a stiff neck & i feel quite restricted in a way. I prefer to cuddle up somewhere (preferably the bed) and rest well. [regal_aeros]
There is no place to have a good night sleep than comfy bed. I dont want to happen it again regal, it dont give the rest that i need. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
no i'll never do it it's not good for our health if you are a beautiful lady and you sleeping infront of the computer i'll tell you ,you are very wrong,it will make your skin bad it have many bad points so,i won't do it anytime [jayandyue]
Hi jayandyue, I dont know about that things, but i dont let it happen again, thanks for the information and the respond. happy [Margarit]
I do it everyday in the office lol LoL, jokes apart I have done it and I didn't feel any different. So I might do it again if needed. In fact, I could sleep anywhere if I am really sleepy and that too without any side effects later on. Thanks [buzzmaker]
Everyday? wow do you like to sleep in front off your computer. If that so what is the use of your bed? Anyways, there are people like you that it doesnt bother to them where and when they sleep for they can sleep easily without feeling the side effect of it. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
I can sleep literally anywhere!! lol This skill comes from frequent travels up to Malaysia whereby I have to sleep upright on a seat for a grand total of 12 hours just to get to Perak. So for me, I have fallen asleep in front of my computer countless numbers of times, and though it wasn't the most comfortable place to be sleeping at, I won't say that it is the worst place I have ever fallen asleep at. rolleyes That time I was gaming all night, and I guess I had just closed my eyes for a while, and the next thing I know was that it was morning when I opened my eyes. Lol. Though I must say that I suffered from a day's of neck sprain, I will still do it all over again, all for the sake of using the computer to the maximum of my time! Take care! [angelia286]
I guess you dont have the luxury of time to sleep comfortably, so you sleep anywhere at anyplace at any position do you like. Wow, i wish i can also do it too.happy [Margarit]
yes it's uncomfortble to sleep infront the computer but if you are sleepy deathly you'll fall to sleep even you are standing?i used to stand sleep on a crowded train???it horrible to recall this memory and this experience forced me to earn more money so i can afford to buy a comfortable sleeper ticket at the next trip?? [celebratelifeh]
Haha, I fall asleep standing on the bus and train every morning I go off to work. hehe and of course, the same thing happens on my way back home from work! It's a real good way to get 2 hours of a quick sleep before starting the brand new day at work. Lol, and besides that, there is really nothing else to do whilst standing on the bus and train for a grand total of 2 hours! So, to kill two birds with one stone, I sleep! =D [angelia286]
No matter how sleepy I am, I can't sleep in front of my computer because first, it is not comfortable and second, I can't sleep without my pillows. If I am real sleepy and have not finished with my work yet, I would took some time off, take a nap then go back working again. [anneshirley]
when you really sleepy , it doesn't matter where you sleep . [abhishekbharadwaj]
lol It's true! When we are really tired, we will be amazed at where we will sleep just to get a night of rest =) [angelia286]
hi..nice question you have posted..i like to answer this..almost all time infront of the sytem i tried to sleep..at the starting i can be so active ..after doing some work or lot of works infront of computer..the ending is my sleepy mind..if i feel sleepy i will left the system if i dont have any work on it..sometime i cant leave the sytem even i feel sleepy..i could have number of works to complete ..those times i used to sleep infront of my sytem..have a nice time [srikool]
No I have never tried to sleep in front of my computer. I have slept in front of it though but it sure was not on purpose. It sure does not in a good night sleep. As you said the aches,pains and stiffness you have when waking are bad. [razcal2267]
hi margarit...me too..i really cant sleep in front of a computer ..im not comfortable with it..besides i really dont surf the net after dinner... [vanities]
Hehe lol You have not got the computer bug like the rest of us, whereby we just feel compelled to stay on the computer every spare minute that we have! That's good in a way too, as it shows a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Hehe, and what more, we can easily grow fat if we surf the net right after we take our dinner as it is not good for us to keep on sitting down after a meal! [angelia286]
i often dose off in front of the computer specially when i am doing PTC clicks. it is such aboring thing this PTC. I wish I had not started. now that i have started, i donot feel like stopping till at least i get one payment. Some times i find that I have had a 5 minute snooze and suddenly wake up with a start. [mercuryman3a]
i have had to sleep in front of my computer screen so many times especially in those days when i had so many documents to type and complete,with very little time.i do this mainly so i wont be too comfortable less i over sleep,it may not be comfortable at the time but it served its purpose then. [BYOLA2871]
I cannot remember whether I have slept in front of my computer before. Maybe yes, when it was the time when I was doing revision for final examinations. Nowadays, I sure I will not sleep in front of my computer anymore as my desk is small and my bed is just next to my desk. It is easy to get on bed and have a better sleep! [cocooreo]
I have fell asleep at the computer a couple of times. Neither time did I mesn to though. If I'm that tired I usually will find a comfortable place to stretch out [valerie37]
I DON'T SLEEP ON MY BED I am in doubt that I will sleep near my pc :) [GAUCI123]
I think i have slept once in front of the computer, i actually have forgotten what happened, but i think most probably i was too tired and fall sleep unconsciously. It was many many years ago. I don't think i like that experience as i got the stiff neck too. I prefer sleeping in my bed!!! lolhappy [lulumartin]
I have never intentionally TRIED to sleep in front of the computer but I have nodded off a couple of times and did not feel well at all when I wakened up. I was stiff all over! [whiteheather39]
There is a point when I can no longer focus on the computer. So, I have never fallen asleep at my PC. I have known people who have passed out on the keyboard and such, though I could not force myself to stay on to that point. [UtopianIdealist]
I did almost fall asleep, that is my eyes got tired, in front of the computer, but it was not that comfortable. I mean my neck would hurt, and my shoulders would get cramped, so what I did was to get up and walk around or go to the bedroom and lie down. I do not think sleeping on the computer is a good idea especially if you decide to lean forward. [suspenseful]
happy I agree that I would rather find a more comfortable place to rest. Being in front of the computer can make me feel tired but I don't want to try to sleep at the desk. You are right. It could cause too much of a stiff neck and too much problems later with my posture. yawn [bamakelly]
It depends on how tired I am, but there have been times that I have been so tired that I have litterally fallen asleep in front of a computer and yes I did wake up with a stiff and painful kneck. I try not to do that any more. Just because of how I woke up. [trisha_nava82]
I cant say I 'tried' sleeping in front of the computer. . . Because I really do sleep in front of it especially when I'm in the office. During break time I often find myself sleeping because of stress and just for the sake of having a power nap. . . [shalybhe29]
I have never actually slept in front of my computer, but I have fallen asleep and when my head fell forward it woke me up. I try to go to bed before I get that sleepy. Sometimes I have a spell hit me that I am just so sleepy that I feel like I might be sick so I shut down what I was doing and hurriedly go and lay down. I think it would be too uncomfortable in front of the computer to sleep. [sweetbabyjane]
I have fallen asleep in front of my computer before... when i first got it i was so addicted to the internet lol that i was sleeping in front of my computer. I would pass right out on my computer or sleep with my head on my bed while sitting in the chair... sleep with my head on the desk.. it was bad! lol but i don't do that anymore. there has been a few times after that i have fall asleep at the computer though and those times i didn't mean too lol [sameroad]
I have fallen asleep in front of my laptop and actually fell asleep on top of the keyboard and woke up with a very sore neck and key indentations on my forehead. Not recommended. [paula27661]
Yes, sometimes I do feel sleepy in front of my computer but up till now I have never slept in front of my computer. When I feel sleepy I just log off my computer and go to sleep [ronaldinu]
Yeah as you have told i do dont like to sleep in front of the computer and even though i do get in a lot of sleep in front of the computer i control them lot and would go to my bed..since it pains in my neck a lot i dont like it much and i avoid it and if someone in my sleep sees me in that sleeping position..they would really kill me..Happy Mylotting.. [balacancer22]
yes i do it all the time and the fact that my computer working 24x7 hence whenever i sleep my computer is awake and yes more often than when i sleep in front of a screen it is in my classroom than in my dorm room [adrainsean]
Sleeping in front of the computer often is not safe adrainsean, It has readiation that is harmful for our health why not place a better place to sleep. Thnaks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Hi Margarit, same as you, me too, I'm not sleep in front of computer, but I sleep on the table, and it feel very tired after that, then I'm sleep like this way again. I will go to my bed to get my sleep. [my125125]
Going to bed is the best thing to do if their is available if not you can go always in the sofas or in the floor to have a good sleep. Sleeping infront of the computer is not good at all. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
hi margarit! well, this has happened to me when there was a time i was mylotting and i can't stop myself from posting comments on discussions i see and it happens that i was tired from work. i fell asleep on my laptop for 5 minutes. hahaa! happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
Hi skbh12, I think if we are very tired already we dont have the energy to resist, we can slkeep anywhere at any place and even in strange position thanks for the the respond.happy [Margarit]
Yes, That when i must finis my deadline work. But when am wake up,am feel my shoulder and neck is pain. After that if am sleepy am never sleep on my desk again, i more chose sleep on carpet. not comfort but much better. [lellyp]
Yeah, it is a good thing to do than sleeping in sitting position. I think this is unavoidable specially if our body need it totally. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
Nopes. That is one thing that I would never do. As you said, it'll give me a head ache afterwards, too...and why sleep in front of the computer when you have a nice comfy bed at your service? Also, computer has those waves, that can actually cause brain cancer or whatever cancer...so it's better not to be 'sticking' to the computer all the time. happy mylotting ^^ [ljy559]
Brain cancer, that is to dangerous i guess, i dont want to have that kind of illness ljy559. I want to live longer and be happy. thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
No... I don't think I would try sleeping in front of a computer. Sleep is very important and should be given priority, I think. [DaddyOfTheRose]
Hi daddy of the rose, I agrre with you, sleeping is very important for us, if we want to stay fit and healty sleep at the right time, at the right place and the right position. Thanks for the respond.happy [Margarit]
