A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was written up at work for "leering at my boss". I'm so sorry for having my eyes sore due to lack of sleep. FML

Narcolepsy? Boredom?
Today, I was fired for falling asleep at work. I’m still not sure how I fell asleep, seeing as I’m a stocker and I was actively putting cans on the shelf when it happened. FML

Today, I worked 24 hours straight fixing my company's servers. After it was over, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and promptly fell asleep at my desk. My boss found me an hour later, refused to listen to me, and fired me for sleeping on the job. FML

Today, I was asleep and snored so loud that I woke myself up. I was at work and I am now the laughing stock of the office. FML

Today, I fell asleep at my desk. It's bad enough that it was for 45 minutes and that I was snoring. What makes it worse? My boss woke me up. FML

Today, I got written up for “making a big show” of being exhausted at work. I was trying to hide it. FML

In a world where you are testing mattresses, CPAP equipment or the like. An unlikely world, but a possible one.

More like in "What country". Japan - where falling asleep on the job is considered a sign of dedication.

There's a difference between "My boss locked me in and forced me to stay at work for a double shift, then an hour before the end of it, he fired me for falling asleep at my post," and "I thought I could sneak in a nap at work, but I got caught."

Long shifts and not enough time to sleep at home, narcolepsy, or did you pull an all-nighter thinking you were still young, and could get away with it?
