have you tried sleeping standing up?

hello there! nuh i've never tried one. i don't want to try it coz its so hard and it could probably give me another embarassing experience..hehe! but i've seen some indivuals who sleep while standing at a bus while holding at the bar to prevent themselves from falling. i find it so hard but guess what this people learns how to manage such situations and im so amazed by them! happy mylotting =)

I never tried it. Horse can really sleep in that manner and some people who doesn't get time to take rest and not even to sit they are forced to take rest by closing their eyes while standing. They don't sleep..At least I don't think so. Its not possible to sleep standing up. I slept half lying on sofa and also on the chair. None of them were much comfortable for me. Best one is always lying on the bed which is very very comfortable for me.

is that even possible? maybe they're not really totally asleep. maybe just 50 percent of their brain / body is asleep. I don't think I can ever do that. I could sleep sitting down for a very short period of time, but no way, not while standing up. haha. lol.

wow.. i havent seen people somebody sleeps while standing up.. i didnt know it could be possible.. i thought it only happen in the movies.. haha anyway, i cant sleep standing up maybe stiting down..

No way! My legs are the first to fall asleep after the day has passed lol.

I have and I think the best I have done is dozed. It is not like a deep sleep, it is more like your mind goes away for awhile. You are in a place between sleep and being awake. It usually only happens if the person is exhausted and their bodies have to have sleep. They are not consciencely going to sleep, for the most part, they are near passing out.

No way! I myself find it hard to sleep while sitting. How much more while standing? :-) Though I've already seen a lot of people deeply asleep while sitting, I have yet to see one standing. Maybe they are not sleeping at all. Probably, they are just closing their eyes for a bit of relaxation.

Hi o0jopak0o: When I have to be satnding for hours I tend to sleep but it's not a pleasant situation. Actually I wake up really quickly when something like this starts to happend to me because I have the feeling that I'm going to fall. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO

I have never tried to sleep standing up, but I don't think I could! I have to be laying down, or at least sitting down. I think that if I did somehow fall asleep standing up, then I would eventually fall over! I need to be comfortable in order to fall asleep, even if I am very tired.

I did tried once and I nearly fell on the floor while doing so. After the near miss, I never try again.

I actually have tried this many times, but was only successful once. I personally prefer sleeping while laying down over sleeping while standing up :)

huh,i've ever seen that one sleeping standing up,i was just astonished by his proficience of sleeping standing up,that really a very superb skills.how does he did it?and why not he fallen down when he was asleep?that really interesting!

I can just imagine myself trying this and failing really badly, i would never be albe to do it, as soon as i did, i would just probably fall to a heap on the ground.

To me has happened to me right to sleep on the bus. This happened two weeks after drawing project. Couldnt resist physically. I do not stop and jerk the bus :)

sleeping, if we go its semantic it is not possible to sleep all standing up. This is rather a condition when the physic gives reply for further action and mind is split between awaking and sleeping. This is more like the twilight. I remember being in such situation when traveling in a coach and you have no seat to rest yourself. The head dozes off and again regains consciousness. This is a funny situation indeed. Your hand loosens as you start going off and wake in a start. This is a signal that the body requires deep sleep and when you regain yourself from such state of sleep you do not get the actual sleep so easily.

I once remember myself, in the Philippines, we have passenger jeepneys, you could hold on at the back of the vehicle and ride on. Well I was sleepless then and I was starting to sleep but I resisted it coz I could fall off the vehicle if I had let myself sleep in that moment.

nope never tried that but i think most of the astronauts do that since there is no gravity in space...

Nope.. maybe sitting up, but not standing. When Im sleeping my body, especially my legs relaxed, so I would probably fall down if even I try to sleep standing up.
