Do you guys have experienced this

[Kagemusha]

I just woke up,and realized that i have been sleeping for six hours sitting by my computer.Im working at IT related business and we had an meeting last night,because we are thinking of bying the firm that im working to.The meeting turned out to an all out drinking last night.I dont know if this is work related problem of exhaustion or drinking problem.What do you guys think?

If your falling asleep at work - you need more rest at home. Where I work sleeping on the job gets you a warning and a promise that the next time they catch you sleeping - you get to go home for good.

Six minutes, no sweat -- happens to all of us. But six hours slumped in a chair is far too much and evidence of serious exhaustion. Lay off the booze, get a life outside of your working hours (preferably raunchy sex, no better way to put your mind off work) and make sure you get some serious sleep.

And I ain't joking.

Thanks for the advice Adrian II.I trye to slow down a bit.I think the one reason why i have been concentrating on work and partying is that im single now.I separated last spring from a serious 4 years relationship with my girlfriend.(We lived together almost the whole time).Since then it has been Work and partying for me.

Is this a one-time occurrence, or does it happen repeatedly?

Sounds like you're living a full life; one thing that I have found is that it is quite easy to drink just a little less and have just as much, if not more, fun. And try to get a good sleep once or twice each month, you'll feel better and live longer.

But falling asleep in a chair after a long hard day and night isn't anything to lose sleep over (sorry, bad pun)

Then maybe not a big problem, only a warning sign.

At work we have a saying, Never stand when you can sit,
never sit when you can lay down, sleep every chance you get. We can work from 6 to midnight for days on end, altho new safety rules are now limiting our hours when it is an emergency we do what we have to do.

I know guys who can sleep sitting up, and its not uncommon to start eating our lunches and fall asleep with the meal unfinished (which is nice it leaves a snack for the afternoon).

So sleeping at your comp isn't too awful; if you told me you fell asleep on the toilet then I'd be more worried.

Like I said, seems like you're living a full life. Nothing wrong with that.
