Brilliant pics, Ian!
Lol, well I could give it go, but not day in, day out, like cats...Marco can do it better , louder , for longer
My 'sleepyhead highlights' include once falling asleep UPRIGHT in church, at a 3-hour long mass during Lent, one night sleeping right through our burglar alarm going off, and as a teenager sleeping through an (albeit fairly minor) motorway collision, in the front seat of my dad's car, whilst on holiday in Italy.
And my 'record sleep' occurred one day during November 2009, when including a 2-hour afternoon nap, I slept in total for 15 hours.
Hey, it's what helps keep me looking young!

When in college I regularly fell asleep during lessons, at work I'd sometimes nod off while standing (I was always awoken by my legs buckling though), my daughters stopped going to the cinema with me because "I was embarrassing", and last year I slept through much of a funeral service.
I once went to the doctor about my sleeping problem (I was about 20 years old) and his reply was "So what are you after, sleeping tablets, amphetamines? You're not the first person to come in here trying it on", and sent me packing. Sort of coloured my view of GPs.

Lol.... Thing is, I almost never fall asleep when I'm out and about (other than on the rare occasions I'm a passenger in a car, where at some point sooner rather than later, I'm destined to nod off).
It's just that when I go to bed, that's me out for the count for at least 9 hours (of deep sleep), and after that, if I wanted to sleep further (for any reason, say passing the time on a train journey or on a plane), or even if I'm outside somewhere and it's nice and sunny, say lying on the grass in a park, I could do so easily.
I've always loved my sleep and genuinely look forward to going to bed every night

We look forward to that too, finally getting a bit of peace and quiet
I seem to be wired a bit like my CD player - if nothing happens for 15 minutes, I go into 'standby'.
