Is sleeping on your desk an actual thing which happen or it is a misconception provided by movies?

I have never slept on my desk no matter how tired I am (I had done a week coding marathon) .I always wrap myself with fluffy blanket when sleeping.

It can happens sometimes, after a fatty lunch.

Thing is, my desk is in an open space, and since I usually fall asleep on the keyboard, my face sometimes has traces of individual keys.

Not very discreet.

keyboard sleep is the best 😆

Maybe it because I always have caffeinated drink on my desk while working that I don' have a same experience as you.

I have "I am tired going to sleep for 15 minute" moment but don't have unexpected sleep.

@heyheni Here is an idea. Since keyboard sleep is the best , we should stuff the pillow with keyboard :)

It does indeed. You just close your door, lie back in your chair and that's it

@Jilano

It's different from what I am describing. I am describing what the suddenly sleeping while working like in the image below.

The thing you are describing look like a normal sleep. I have sleep on various situation (sleeping while talking , sleeping while standing ) and sleeping while walking (which I admit its dangerous) , maybe you could say it "sleep walking" :)

Maybe something is wrong with my common sense since I think sleeping on a chair is normal.

It doesn't happen anymore....

It's not a thing when your company actually abides the law and your country has work protection laws.

When you've worked > 30 hours, a sleep on the keyboard for a few hours is better than trying to get back home.... Because your brain just doesn't work anymore.

never slept on a desk, but did nap under a table in the last IT office I worked at.
yay student employment

Oh it's real, that keyboard imprint is hard to hide.

Long weeks of brain numbing tasks end up with a sleeping @C0D4 😅

Yeah, I’ve fallen asleep on my desk quite a few times. It’s not frequent, but it happens when I don’t sleep and also don’t want to leave my desk

I worked with some Chinese folks after lunch they sleep in there desk, I guess depends of the culture and company
