Tired mums! Have you ever fallen asleep holding a cuppa 🤣

[LittleToasterx]

I have an awful habit of doing it when I'm sat on the sofa in the evenings. Husband keeps threatening to buy me a sippy cup 🤣

no but I have walked into my bedroom with phone in one hand, tea in the other and carefully set phone on bedside table and launched a full cup of tea over the bed.
very sleep deprived at the time. Stood there I’m shock for about two minutes then ran down and cried to DH.

A sippy cup 🤣🤣 never done that but I have fallen asleep in the bath, sad thing is it was pre kids!

Oh God, that is sleep deprived. Hope you didn't ruin the bed. The things we do when tired 😫

Falling asleep with my tea regularly, but the worst was when DS2 was a couple of weeks old, I staggered down, made a pot of coffee, poured a mug, and then poured orange juice into it instead of milk. Apparently my face was a picture.

Once husband and DSD had stopped laughing they took it away, sat me down and made me some more.

Absolutely! Every pregnancy and newborn stage. I didn't drink anything hot unless I was sitting at the table, because if I was relaxing with a drink I invariably fell asleep and tipped it over.

Twice in one day once. I had a three year old and a nine year old at the time and worked nights as an A&E nurse. The first time was in the afternoon after working 3 night shifts in a row and having very little sleep in between and I didn't even realise I'd done it until dd said 'mummy, you've spilt your coffee'. The second time was that evening, luckily both cups were cold when I poured them over myself

I feel you ❤️ Night shifts are killers.

Oh God, I was tired constantly during pregnancy. Every time I sat down I would just fall asleep. Struggled to eat dinner somedays.

I've done very similar things. Best one was I filled my bowl of cornflakes up with water from the tap 🤣

coffee - no
red wine - well, not recently, but many times

I fell asleep leaning against the swings at the park once

I fell asleep standing up on the tube once - sadly I was going OUT not coming home!!
My DH took a pic for proof!

I have also fallen asleep mid pizza (after a day at Disney)

Yep. In bed. Poured tea over dh!

My children are well into adult-hood, but I have recently woken up in the night to have a drink of water (from a bottle) and woken up hours later with the open bottle still in my hand - and luckily still right way up!

Fell asleep holding a glass of red wine!

Dc are teenagers, but I'm a teacher, and it was the end of term. I was exhausted!

Yes... and dropped my phone into said cuppa

I fall asleep frequently in the bath and drop my phone on my face.

Coffee no, G&T yes. Rude awakening when the cold drink hit my feet

Ouch... That's an expensive nap.

Yes
Holding at cuppa
At work
Watching a swimming lesson

Fortunately not while driving.

The dc were 4 and 1. I put it down to tiredness, but turns out I was massively anaemic.

Standing up in the queue for the loos during a work training course. Turned out I was pregnant.

I'm anemic to. Have to get B12 injections.

I have fallen asleep mid sip of tea!!
Heavily pregnant and sitting on sofa with cuppa. I took a sip and fell asleep before I swallowed it. Woke up coughing and spluttering as it had went down the wrong way.

Never fallen asleep holding a cup of tea,but I have frequently fallen asleep and dropped a book that I was reading in bed on my face. Woke me up with a jolt every time.

I fell asleep with a much wanted glass of wine in my hand after I'd wrestled my toddlers to bed and was a newly single mum.

I woke up half an hour later, still holding the full glass in my hand!
