Lately I have been falling asleep in the tub. I prop myself such that I'm not likely to slide under the water. However if I did, I'm pretty sure I would quickly notice.
What do you think: is sleeping in the tub dangerous for your health? Let's just assume btw that no cocaine is involved, mk thx.

No I have a real fear of this. I always get out of the tub right away if I feel sleepy.

No, I am never that relaxed!
My first thought when I read your question was Whitney Houston. Eeeek!

Yes, frequently. We've got a small tub, so there's very little chance that I would slip under, but still. DH HATES it when I nap in the tub, but because of my fibromyalgia (chronic pain), its often the most comfortable place to sleep.

Nope because the water starts to get cold and I get super pruney.

I took a bath this morning and wanted to fall asleep I was so comfy! But, the tub is pretty small so it would be pretty fall for me to fall under the water....

No, but I also rarely take baths. I have an aunt who did fall asleep in the tub, but didn't wake up as she slid underwater. Thankfully her husband found her!

@mrbee: She was just exhausted and is normally a hard sleeper. From what I'm told it wasn't that long.

Wow. Nope, never fell asleep in the tub. Sounds amazing though. I'm so tired!
LO only napped for 20 mins!

Yep, I do the same and prop myself up in the tub. I try to get out when I catch myself starting to drift off! My biggest fear is dropping my Kindle in the water when I start to doze!

Never. I also take baths extremely rarely. It grosses me out to "marinate" in my own....juices.

@mrbee: A few weeks ago when I was super-sleep deprived during LO's growth spurt I forbade my husband to take a bath because he always falls asleep in the bath and I figured if I wasn't getting a nap, he wasn't either!

@mrbee: Pshh! It's the only even semi-mean moment of our early baby days, so I say he's still lucky He's actually in tub now (at my suggestion!) so I'm sure he'll get a nice nap.

@jessiejo17: I bring my kindle in the tub too! But I draw the line at the iPad. That bad boy was too expensive to risk it.
