Well what can I say
I must be starting to get old
Fell asleep in my chair watching TV last night
First time ever.
Yvonne grabbed my phone before I dropped it
Shook me vigorously
And told me it was bed time
At 11.30pm if I recall correctly
Earliest bed for me in 29 years!!
Imagine falling asleep on a chair watching telly!?
No booze
No weed
Just snoring which annoyed my wife
I'm only 65. Shouldn't be doing that.
Should I?

I think it’s normal to occasionally fall asleep watching television. I have done it in the past. You needed the sleep.

I sure did
But I don't think I have ever slept for 14 hours before
I was up to the bathroom a couple of times but other than that must have slept soundly

I mean the other day we visited my pal from school Paul.
He was saying a mutual friend has started wearing paper under wear.
I said to Paul it would be funny if he had to do the same
And he said it would be funny if I had to

@Ineeddentures Okay that is a fair point. I am a busy mom and wife. But still normal I think.

Deffo normal, no doubt about that.
Busy moms and wife's deserve a nap after working so hard to look after kids and keep a house and maybe work a job as well

@Ineeddentures I don't know, are you diabetic? Have insulin resistance? - that part usually comes long before diabetes
I am not too tired now, but my sugar is only in the 160s. Now if I am tired after eating, I expect that I am probably 200+
I already know enough about age lol....I feel much older than just almost 40

My niece and nephew used to fall asleep in front of the tv.and l would wake them up and send them to bed. They were in their late teens and sometimes watched tv till 1am - during the holidays. I watch tv mostly when l get into bed at night, so l have fallen asleep numerous times l am sure.

1am, late teens
Reasonable time so not that bad.
But should teens be falling asleep so early,
I have always been a night owl.
You watch TV in bed,
Hope you don't smoke
Falling asleep and smoking is dangerous
