I haven't but my ex manager used to do it alot. One day I actually took a picture of him. A team member was also showing him how to do pivot tables - for the 500th time. He actually fell asleep during the training.
He was eventually made redundant.Comment

I contracted for a client once who left one of their employees setting up a demo whilst they were doing a presentation to a large prospective client. When the execs all moved over to the other room for the demo this guy was fast asleep at the PC.
He go sacked, but it was very funny for everyone else.Comment

In my first job after graduating there was this bloke who came in in the morning and almost immediately went to sleep.
There was a suspicion that he was given to over-indulging in recreational drugs. No-one (apart from management) ever woke him up as he was a complete @rsehole.Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.Comment

I once demo'd a system for the MD of a very big investment bank in Docklands. He came down to my desk followed by two of his lackeys carrying his crown & sceptre etc.
He sat next to me at my desk with the staff standing behind him and I proceeded to show him how my whizzy application could help with fixed income tracking. At the end I turned round to see if he had any questions and he'd conked out....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

did on my first contract, long drive, late nights sorting out my wedding and a fecking boring contract meant i'd be frequently nodding off some days.
Only other times i've slept at my desk was when I was a permie, a few too many pints after work, miss the last train so i'd just sleep at the office
Also did it a few times when I was on all nighters fixing server failuresCoffee's for closersComment
