anyone here ever fall asleep on their job? I am not talking about straight snoring, but like dozing of for a few minutes before realized you feel asleep.

It happens to me occasionally when i am trying to read something or i am thinking...
 
Yes, when I'm on owl shift it does. It happens to everyone especially when the machine is running nicely and there are few RF or orbit problems to deal with. 😱
 
When I was a baby IT guy in my first professional job in Atlanta, I got the fun job of babysitting a vital-but-for-some-reason-suddenly-problematic server overnight. The company supplied me with a cot and everything.

But that's probably not what you are asking.
 
I used to work a 12 hour midnight shift Th-Fri-Sat nights from 7:00PM to 7:00AM. Saturday nights I worked by myself. The only person on the entire floor...and this building was massive...the length of a small city block.

Anywhoo...Saturday nights were absolutely dead. I wouldn't take a call from 2:00 AM till 5:00 AM. I regularly currled up under the desk, turned my phone on "LOUD" ring and zonked out for two hours or so.

One time the security gaurd that made rounds on occasion freaked out because he thought I had a stroke and died 😛
 
Yes its bad. My friend got terminated since he took a nap. He had to make it obvious and lay down on the ground. He claimed he was adjusting his back.

You fall asleap at the controls of a nuclear accelerator?
 
There are 3 of us on shift and on the owl shift (12am to 8am) we usually are just charged with keeping the beam on. There is a lot of automation built into the system, when there are no test plans or configuration changes taking place the machine can be very stable. It's impossible to not doze off at that time of night...
 
I always doze in the afternoons after lunch. Can't help it. I have a job that doesn't require me to get up from my desk; what do you expect is going to happen?

People doze off in meetings ALL THE TIME. Not just me.

Only twice I've had to do that. I was putting in 50 hour weeks and traveling a lot, and not getting much sleep so I had to shut my door and just sit back in my chair for about 20 minutes.
