Before sleeping or taking a nap, do you feel conscious and worry about how you look? Say for instance, do you think about how you look like while asleep? Do you imagine yourself snoring or having this really funny look while asleep?
When taking a long trip and I have to ride a bus, I think about not sleeping at all because people might be looking at me and how funny I am when asleep.

i don't think about how i would look like when i am sleeping. that is when i'm at home. but if i'm riding a bus, i would "condition" myself first, like before i succumb to sleepiness, i would think about how i would not open my mouth while sleeping. LOL coz sometimes if i didn't get enough sleep i would be tired and the next time i would sleep, there's a tendency that i would sleep with a slightly open mouth. ^__^;; so when i'm riding a bus, i do my best to close it tightly and make a mental reminder to keep it close while asleep. LOL i can't really stop myself from sleeping while traveling, i just get too sleepy. ^__^;;

I don't want to sleep while traveling but I end up doing so. That is when I really feel very conscious. I wake up from time to time because of that.

Everyone is self conscious to an extent, for everyone to say they don't care how others feel about them is not 100% true, we all want to make a good impression on society in some way, mainly in something that makes us proud of ourselves, for instance, you go to an interview,, you make sure you dress appropiatly for the occasion and speak proper grammer, because you want that interveiwer to feel you are the best candidate for the job your competing for, thats a form of self concousness, its a balance we have as humans and is a vital part of our lives and our human nature, however when it gets to the point of effecting your personal life and causing self hatred or lose of self indendity, which is very common, its a problem, causing people to be very uncomfertable in social enviroments, causing one unable to preform at thier potential, and so fourth, that would require some consoling.

It has never entered my mind actually. I suspect that i actually snore. hehehe! But when I asked whoever colleague that I get to travel with, they would just tell me that I don't snore. Anyways, I am not just conscious and I don't actually care. LOL! What is important to me is that I get every chance to catnap whenever I can.

:)you know it's funny but sometimes I take a mirror and try to see how I look when I sleep but I don't worry if I look small, I just footle:)
my boyfriend says that I am very beautiful when I sleep (I hope not only then), so I haven't reason to worry:)
There were a lot of times when I woke up with trickle saliva from my mouth after sweet sleep!! It put to shame on me..:))
I'm glad that I don't snore:))

that is quite funny, I have never thought about this before! I guess if I was taking a long trip I would worry that I might snore, because occasionally I do snore and really loud too, so I think I would think about that and try not too go to sleep. But I dont think about it when I am just at home.

When I am sleepy and I know I might end up sleeping in a place where people would definitely see me, I would definitely feel conscious. For example, I am in the faculty room and I would like to take a nap, suddenly I think about how I look like while sleeping and think about the people in the office and what they would probably doing while watching me sleep... I really feel conscious but take a nap anyway. lol!

When I'm sleeping. I become unconscious just like everybody else. Sometimes it strange I hear myself snoring. It is irritant especially when someone besides you. It is disturbing actually. But I can't stop it. I'm half conscious and unconscious at the same time.
