When people are deprived of sleep, it's incredible the lengths they'll go to get a little bit of shut-eye. Sometimes, people fall asleep without even realizing it, and it isn't always in the most ideal of places. Although a bed or a comfortable couch may be preferable, such luxuries aren't always an option and people have to work with what they have access to. These people were caught sleeping in the most ridiculous ways.
Sleeping On The Job
When this poor fellow fell asleep at his desk, his co-workers took the opportunity to take a group photo with their fallen comrade. Chances are, he's going to wake up to an empty office with no idea that any of this happened.
If his co-workers wanted to take things to the next level, they could make this picture his computer background to add insult to injury. But in all seriousness, we hope someone checked his pulse -- he's looking a little pale.
Lord Of The Cats
We're not sure who's sleeping the funniest here, the man or the cats. This cat owner must be doing something right if all three cats feel it's necessary to laze all over him while he slumbers. Not all felines are as loving towards their owners, so he should count himself lucky, right?
If this is a regular occurrence, we wouldn't be surprised if this guy is coughing up fur balls constantly. Hopefully, he doesn't jolt awake, because that might cause a prickly problem.
Well Worth The Money
If you're visiting Venice, Italy, a popular attraction is to take a boat ride through the canals. Extra points if you're with your significant other! While it may be out of some people's reach financially, it looks like this couple was willing to pay for the full Venetian experience.
The only problem is they fell asleep! Quite an expensive nap! We can't blame them though, being gently rocked in a boat on the Venice canals could put anyone right to sleep.
Free Advertising!
If this isn't the best advertisement for a book you've ever seen, then we don't know what is. Whatever the content of this book is clearly works because this woman is passed out with no signs of waking up anytime soon.
We wonder if the book actually has good advice or if it was just written so dully that its purpose is to bore the reader to sleep. Either way, you can't deny the results!
Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
Being a musician can be taxing, especially if you have to lug around a huge instrument like this bass player does. Seems like after a long practice they needed to get some shut eye and improvised with what they had.
What was once used to protect their instrument from being damaged now doubles as what looks like a pretty comfortable sleeping bag. We're guessing this isn't the first time that they've done this either. Maybe it's a trick of the trade.
We Feel Her Pain
If you've ever been on an airplane, you know that it's one of the worst-ever places to try and sleep. Experiencing it yourself makes you feel for the flight attendants who have to suffer through it day in and day out.
Clearly, after enough time on the job, you get creative and learn tricks to get as comfortable as possible. This poor flight attendant is taking advantage of her flexibility and is napping while simultaneously stretching her legs. It may look odd, but who are we to judge?
Straight Out Of A Crime Scene
The way this girl is sleeping looks just like the chalk outlines police draw around bodies at crime scenes. We don't know about you, but this looks uncomfortable for just about every major joint in her body.
We didn't even know the human body could be contorted like this! All we hope is that she's flexible or usually sleeps like this because if not, she's going to need a wheelchair and a massage when she wakes up.
Pray For A Smooth Ride
Sleeping on public transportation isn't usually preferred, but there are some times when you have no choice. We're going to assume that as this man slept, his head managed to work its way through the bar behind him, putting him in a rather precarious situation.
He better hope that the train doesn't come to a sudden stop or he wakes up abruptly, or else he might find himself walking out of the hospital in a neck brace.
Nap Level: Master
If there's a time when people get the most tired, it's probably at work. Partly because working can be tiring, and also because most people don't exactly want to be there.
This guy has constructed what looks to be the ultimate stealth napping area where he can grab a quick cat nap whenever he's feeling a little tired. We hope that he's told his co-workers about his genius little spot because if not, that's just being selfish. Share the love!
Cow Cuddles
Most little boys might sleep with their puppy or cat, but not this one. He prefers to lie down in the hay with his cow to take a snooze. He looks to be as comfortable as you can get, and we're actually kind of jealous.
We wish someone would comfort us while we slept like this cow does for the boy. We're not even sure if this cow is actually asleep or is just making sure nobody disrupts its little buddyr.
Possessed In Her Sleep
If you walk in a room and see someone sleeping in this position, your next move should be to call your local priest and tell them you need an exorcism performed as soon as possible.
Was she stretching when she fell asleep or is this what her body naturally does when she goes into autopilot? If she sleeps with a significant other, we feel incredibly sorry for them because she's clearly not one to share bed space. Better hit the couch!
Sleep Ballet
Is it just us, or does this sleeping guy look like Cupid before he shoots someone with his magical love arrow? All he needs is wings, a diaper, and a bow and arrow, and he's all set.
We wonder if this is how he sleeps all of the time or if he's just not used to napping on the couch. Whoever took this photo should keep it and show it to every person he brings home to meet the parents. This way, they'll know what they're up against.
He's A FABULOUS Napper
Sleeping with your arm out isn't all that uncommon, but this man's form is impeccable. He looks like he a pop star mid-dance move. In fact, maybe that's what he's dreaming about. Aside from this rather interesting sleeping position, we noticed that the chair seems way to small for a man of his stature.
Possibly it's the size of the chair that led him to resort to sleeping like this. The windows are also open for the whole world to see.
Anytime, Anywhere
Here is a man who won't let any situation get in the way of him getting some shut-eye. The airport is another notorious place that doesn't cater to sleeping. It's almost like they're designed to keep you awake. Yet this guy thought outside the box and made the best of his situation.
Using two chairs and his suitcase, he can now fully recline peacefully while other people are uncomfortable trying to sleep sitting up. We're taking notes from this genius.
Not Creepy At All
This guy's co-worker made the shocking discovery that he sleeps with his eyes open. We don't know how this is possible, but we guess if you're tired enough, it very well could be.
To make sure that he wasn't faking, the co-worker stacked things on his head, in his pockets, and on his shoulder, with no movement. Yup, that guy is definitely out. He better have eye drops handy because he's going to wake up with a serious case of dry eye.
Intoxicated Slumber
By the looks of it, this guy had far more than one too many before taking the train home. He was probably fighting sleep with all of his might, but it was a losing battle.
He appears to have fallen asleep in this incredibly awkward position with one eye still open. That's a sure sign of a good night. We hope someone wakes him up eventually because he's for sure going to miss his stop otherwise.
Pathetic Human
This image perfectly sums up a cat and human relationship. Usually, the cat gets what they want in the end, even if that means the entire bed. We're not sure if this person willingly slept on the ground to not disturb the cat or if the cat physically removed him from it.
It's clear who runs the show here, and it's definitely not the guy sleeping on the ground. On top of everything, the can't isn't even sleeping!
Wrong Door
Beer hanging out of her purse, there's no way this girl went out for a few drinks. And she definitely didn't overdo it! All sober people try to get into their house using the dog door, right? It looks like she was in over her head and got stuck.
With nothing else to do but sleep, it appears that's exactly what she did. Hopefully, she lives by herself or with roommates, because she might have some explaining to do if her parents come downstairs and discover her like this.
A Lifeless Body
Seriously, we need to know what happened that led this man to think this was a good idea. There are so many better sleeping options than dangling like this. There is a perfectly good floor with a wall where they could have used their backpack as a pillow.
Someone needs come to wake him up before he asphyxiates himself hanging like that. Are people really just walking by and not checking to see if he's okay?
Started At The Top Now We're Here
A lot of people move in their sleep not knowing it, and we're willing to bet that's what happened here. He probably fell asleep while sitting up and began to slide down inch-by-inch.
Now, he's in this what looks to be an uncomfortable position and probably has no idea. When he wakes up he's going to be in for quite the surprise as well as a pair of incredibly sore thighs. If the train stops fast enough, he might even find his face buried in a seat.
He Fits So He Sits And Sleeps
This guy brings the entire phrase "if I fits I sits" to a whole new level. This is more of an "I fits, then I sits, then I sleep." At least he looks very comfortable in that pretzel position on the cramped bus seat.
But, we have to give credit where credit is due. The guy was tired, so he said whatever to his skinny jeans and rolled up into a nice ball. Our hats are off to you, good sir.
Work, Eat, Nap
Excuse us while we give this gentleman the slow clap he deserves. We've all had those moments at work where we just want to curl up under our desks and nap. And if you're shaking your head saying you're not one of those people, we don't believe you.
Anyway, this guy has the right idea. Instead of curling up on the floor on a makeshift pallet of napkins from the break room, use your chair!
When Spiderman Forgets He's Sleeping In Public
Is it just us, or is this guy channeling his inner Spiderman on the subway? Well, either that or he is Spiderman and totally forgot he is on public transportation taking a nap. There's really no other explanation as to how this man was able to get up there.
Not to mention staying up there while he is clearly taking a nap after a long night of fighting crime. Think about it... why else would he be wearing pants and a long coat — answer: to hide his spidey suit.
If This Isn't A Mood, Were Not Sure What Is
Well, if this funky sleeping arrangement isn't a mood were not really sure what is. We mean, we get it. Who would want to sleep on the dirty ground when there is a perfectly good chain barrier sitting right there?
Yea, we can't even try to make this ok. Sorry, sir, but how is that comfortable? Not only that, how on Earth is he balancing? He's either very skilled at keeping his center of gravity or he's levitating over the fence, and we can't see it in the picture. Either way, he has powers.
Nap Level: Finals Week
If you've ever gone through finals week, then you know that this sleeping arrangement isn't all that weird. This guy took advantage of an empty library bookshelf and just went for it.
And you know what, we couldn't be prouder. Not only is he still in the library to cram for his exam when he wakes up, but he's not a tripping hazard on the floor (not that we have experience doing that or anything...).
Why Sleep On The Couch When The Floor Is Right There?
We'd be lying if we said we haven't been in this position before. This guy looks like he's been working on a paper or something and just needed to close his eyes for a little while.
Well, why close your eyes on the comfortable couch that is literally right next to you when you're already lying on the floor? We mean, all he had to do was roll away from his laptop!
This Guy's Cat Is More Important Than His Comfort
This pet owner knows what he's doing. No one in their right mind would ever move their fur friend off the couch just because they want to lie down for a little while, especially, if that fur friend happens to be a cat!
This guy probably saw the kitty, said nope, not worth it, and grabbed a pillow for himself to take a nap on the floor. We hope you recognize the sacrifice your human-made for you, cat. But you probably don't care.
Doesn't That Hurt Your Knees?
We understand that sleeping on public transportation is sometimes inevitable, especially if a long commute is involved. But this person takes napping to a whole new level of hurt in this crazy position.
They probably don't feel it now, but when they go to stand up after hearing their stop is coming up, they're in for a world of ouch! We mean, look at the angle of this poor person's knee. There's no way that's comfortable.
Sleep In Public: Tall People Edition
Whether it's ducking under really short door frames, cramming into a car, or sleeping in public, tall people have to adapt. Take this man, for instance. He was very tired waiting around, so he found a bench.
Unfortunately, the bench is about half the size of his fairly large height. So, with his lying on it, it looks a bit like a giant trying to get comfortable on a normal person-sized bench. Think Jack and the Beanstalk.
Needs More Cow Nap
All work and no nap? Not for this rancher! This man knew it was time for a quick snooze. And what better way to do that then go have a brief slumber party with his best friend?
We mean, he's all dirty and dusty from working, so why not sleep in the barn? We would totally do the same thing. And it would be the perfect opportunity to bring in some SNL cowbell jokes, only replacing bell with nap, obviously.
Maybe He's Dreaming The Money Out Of The ATM
We're all for sleeping when you're tired. But those locations tend to be at home or even on public transportation if the need arises. This guy, on the other hand, decided to sleep in a very strange place -- on an ATM.
Honestly, if he thinks he'll get money by sleeping on top of it, more power to him! Money by osmosis would be amazing. Maybe we should find this man and see if the sleeping arrangement worked out for him.
Napping While Stretching
Why only nap when you can stretch at the same time? Even though we'd bet money, this person was not thinking about working on their splits when they fell asleep against the pole.
Honestly, though, they must be in a very deep sleep. Otherwise, they would totally feel that stretch happening! Hopefully, their pants are good quality, too, because one false move and those seams are going to be a thing of the past.
Friends Helping Friends Nap
This is what we like to see on public transportation -- friends helping friends out in tough situations. In this case, it's the guy in the back helping his friend nap.
Thankfully, it's a two-way deal, though. If we had to guess, the guy in the back was helping hold up the guy in the front so he could get some shut-eye. Then, the back guy started drifting. Now, they're holding each other up, and we think that's beautiful.
But Is The Pizza Okay To Eat Still?
Yes, there is a lot to dissect in this picture. Yes, the most important thing is obviously the pizza that has fallen out of the box of the sleeping woman's hand. No, we're not sure if that huge black bird is real.
But if it is real, we're giving that pizza a total of five seconds before it's devoured! We kind of feel bad for the sleeping lady. She's going to wake up to no pizza and a crying runaway bride.
The Perfect Hiding Spot
When school gets too dull but you've got nowhere else to go, sleeping in the corner of a classroom sounds like a bright idea. As long as you have a bookshelf covering you up, you should get away with it.
If the school principal found this student like this, he'd probably get a few detentions and a phone call home. When his parents ask why he fell asleep in such a wild manner, he can say he was up all night studying for a test.
No, He's Trapped
Not only does this not look comfortable, but it also looks like it will hurt if he makes any sudden movements in his sleep. If a fire were to break loose, this man better hope he's agile enough to break free from those chairs in time.
This is why we don't advise people to take naps in obscure locations. You never know who might creep up on you and take advantage, especially trapped in the chairs like this.
Great For Your Back!
There's no telling what this man does for a living, but it's enough to have him passed out like a dead fish on land. His back will feel like he battled in WW2 the morning after this, and there's nothing he can do to stop it.
The citizens around him could've done him a favor and woke him up. He looks like a broken folding chair that you keep in the garage because you're too lazy to fix it.
Must Love Smelly
There's no telling what that pole smells like, but how did this man end up this way? Did he start by sniffing the pole because it smelled like berries and then fall asleep thanks to the aroma?
His nose is wide open for any insect to fly in and set up shop. Not only that, but his mouth is also! He better take a shower and clean his face the moment he gets home or else.
Sleeping In Disguise
This looks like a cool new way to try falling asleep while at a party. Either that, or her friends are real jerks and wanted a photo of this to post on their Instagram stories.
It's a good joke if it's because of her pals, but one this girl shouldn't ever forget. She needs to remember this they all go out next time and someone gets caught slipping by falling asleep first while everyone is still awake.
Street Cracks Are The New Body Pillow
We get how this street crack could look comfortable. Just wedge your body in there, and you have a body pillow! Of course, it can't be nearly as comfortable as a fluffy and soft body pillow, but it kind of gets the job done.
We just hope when this woman wakes up, she's able to pull herself out of the crevice! Take note, folks, have an evacuation plan before falling asleep in weird places.
