Did once but never again i'm always too stressed with college work to fall asleep. Apart from that falling asleep in water is not too appealing *drowning*.

Yep, done it a couple of times. It's horrid because you wake up because it's so cold

I've heard that you can drown, but I never have baths.
In case you were wondering, I do shower!

I do every morning when I take a bath, but only for a few moments, but here's a random fact - you are more likely to drown in your own bath than have a plane crash - think of that when somebody tells you all the scary statistics about plane crashes, although they do say 80% of statistics are made up...

Ooh, FINALLY an excuse to tell my funniest uni anecdote.
It was the third day of freshers' week, and we were nearly all sitting talking in the kitchen at 2am. one of our housemates comes in stemaing drunk and goes upstairs; whereon we think naught more of it. Half an hour later we decamp for sleep and can hear a dripping coming frommy 2nd floor bathroom, and see water dripping through the ground floor ceiling. We open the bathroom to find that drunken housemate asleep in teh bath, naked, with a cm of water on the floor. It took 4 of us half an hour to mop up, get him clothed and to bed, and put lots of buckets below drips in the ceiling of the first floor, which kinda shorted the lights in that area but thankfully not too badly. As if that wasn't stressful enough; one of the guys who helped then, at 3am, decided to go out for a 10min walk to help him get to sleep...
That one was never surpassed during my time. It can be dangerous to fall asleep in the bath!

I do..surprisingly often actually. It usually just involves a few minutes of drifting off...and then realising I've made myself late.

I fell asleep in the bath today..was half an hour late to my hairdressing appointment! I woke up when I slid so far down into the bath that water went up my nose!

What other pleasures of life have you been missing out on?

I've fallen asleep in the bath many a time.. usually wake up a safe distance above water though. I once fell asleep sideways though, and woke up with no hearing in my left ear, which persisted for a week and a half!

I'm pretty sure I'd wake up if I started drowning; just a guess.

Contuary to popular belief you cant drown from falling asleep in the bath. If you are unable to breath for any reason while asleep, you will near instantly wake up.
If you do fall asleep in the bath and inhale some water before you managed to wake up and pull youself back up, you should seek medical assistance as you may suffer from secondary drowning due to water in the lungs (This can take anything up to 24 hours to kill you).
Trust me, im a lifeguard

I inhale water practically every day. Should I be worried?
