Bathroom Sleepers

Weird!

You're sure she's OK? (Hmmm, unconscious people prolly don't snore...)

Well she is sitting at her desk now so I presume she is o-k.

How the hell do you sleep on the can!?!

Very carefully.

Once upon a time before Women were Equal there were couches in the Ladies' Rest Rooms so that PMS secretaries could lie down and regroup during "those days".

We have a mother's room on the floor. It's really cool with a comfy coach and it's own refridge. I asked, "I'm a mom, can I use it for a nap?" I just got some laughs.

Almost tempting enough to have another baby just so I can use it.

I worked the midnight shift once for a little while. For the first couple weeks it was very hard to keep myself awake through the night. Even though I am a nightowl, around Five AM I would always feel like I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I went into the bathroom and took five-minute naps a couple times, until I was used to it.

One I got used to it though, I became a legendary party guy. My work week ended at 8:00 AM on Friday morning, so I'd go home, sleep until happy hour, and then drag my friends on marathon drinking binges until they couldn't handle it anymore...I was the party king, let me tell you. NOBODY could keep up with me!

Aaaah, those were the days...now what was the topic of this thread again?

Just wait 'til you have a child, Bella. For the first two years, every time I sat down anywhere I fell asleep.

I have thought about going to sleep in the bathroom at work, but then I'd dissapear for hours and get fired

Don't you get ring around the ass?

OK - I got you....

hmm, back in my swimming days, i coulda slept anywhere...mainly because i was up at 3:45am for practice...

I remember them!

I'd ask my mother in a dept store why there were sofas in the bathroom, and she told me 'so ladies can rest.'

I guess hence the name 'rest room'

When I was younger there were lovely couch-y benches in the sorta waiting room outside the ladies room on the train.

I was too exhausted to care.

What a hoot! I imagine that I might find a way to nap on the pot if I needed to.

I have a wonderful old postcard of the women's restroom lounge at the Curtis Publishing Company, I would guess from about 1914. It's all framed with some other postcards under glass in my bathroom, or I'd try and scan it.

The women's lounge at Kirkhoff hall at ucla in the early sixties was fabulous, a huge room with great cushy leather upholstered sofas.

The company i previously worked for - had a nap room. ...They belived that naps could help increase productivity ...
