Nodding off

nh_user_629666 · June 12, 2015, 1:36pm

Hi all,, has anyone out there experienced just nodding off when you close your eyes on a tired day with PMR?? I can be sitting there watching TV and close my eyes then I realise I've fallen asleep for maybe two or three minutes!!

nh_user_642589 · June 12, 2015, 2:14pm

You must be joking! There are 1069 people in the PMR group. I bet there are at least 1000 who do that!!!😄😴😴😴

Love it, its the only time I get a decent sleep but just can't get enough of it. Just enjoy it and do not worry. Dave

Yes.

nh_user_165107 · June 12, 2015, 4:44pm

I did it before PMR too.

anon53727290 · June 12, 2015, 5:17pm

I mentioned I keep falling asleep without realising I'm even tired. I said "it's like having narcolepsy" and my GP said 'did you drive here?' so I said 'yes' and he said 'stop driving. You're dangerous! He gets very angry when I use medical terms when I'm not medically qualified!

"power nap" when we do it deliberately. Very refreshing.

Polyphasic sleep when we go through full sleep cycle more than once per 24 hours.

I thought tv was designed to make me fall asleep .....

Snap

I learned the hard way to set the recorder when I started to watch something and wanted to see the end. Brilliant.

I now get to watch 'who dunnit' and then end of movies.

Best sleeping tablet out is the TV and it comes with no side effects.

i fell asleep driving home from work in the car last year...a tractor had pulled a garden fence out all across the road on a bend and i drove into the debris which woke me up... it was a very scary experience! car was wrecked and so was my confidence. have never done that before or since but i do seem to fall asleep during TV programmes now.

nh_user_426567 · June 13, 2015, 12:48am

Yes, every evening when I watch a movie on TV (Netflix).... I get a.really tired feeling, and I nod off for a few minutes. It is either AGE or PMR.

Of course, I take several short naps during the day in addition......maybe about 4. sad Good thing, I am retired!
