Answer 1

My son does it playing video games or watching a tv show...he stayed up too late the night before.  I do it all the time...but, I shattered both bones and my ankle in my left leg...and the meds I'm on...knocks me OUT before I can get to my bed sometimes...lol  UGHHHHHH  KILLER on my back when I fall asleep at my pc or running for the last minute potty break that should have taken 2 seconds and I wake up 3 hours later!!!!!!!!  UGHHHHHHH  Once, I fell asleep and woke up as I was falling in the floor...I barely missed my cat litter box....LOL My son heard me fall and scream......OMG laughing so hard now...I told him when he came running in just let me lay here, I think I broke my shoulder....I didn't but, it took me 10 minutes to get up...YES I SHOWERED ANYWAYS........floor is clean, but too close to the kitty box lol.

Answer 2

Never in my life. I think you might be coming down a with a serious disorder. You need to get to a doctor or a neurologist and tell him about these blackouts of yours. It might be a condition called "tired." I think it can be treated with a regimen called "sleep."

Answer 3

This one time I swear, I fell asleep when I was walking, and when I woke up, I was right by my house.

TRIPPY!

Answer 4

My best guess is that while you may have been sleeping, you did not achieve a REM (Rapid Eye Movement).  From everything that I have read previously, REM occurs when you are in a deep sleep, and this is what helps you rest up and recharge.
