On long deco stops, I've nodded off several times. I do have an audible alarm, and I've been known to set my watch to beep every few minutes just to have an occasional wake up call.

Yes but I was surface supplied, waiting for some structure to be removed from the water.

I have two speeds - on and off.

I fall asleep in moments - and its great when I'm at home, etc. Its not great when I'm driving (!)

I am confident, if compelled to hand for more than half an hour, I would nod off. I'm sure of it.

Who knew. Glad I don't drive a motorcycle these days...

A little bit off topic but I guess you guys would wish to have such a luxury:

Interesting fact about ongoing 350m scuba dive project:

A special safety feature will be that the contestants will spend their longest decompression time (over 6 hours) at 6 meters, in a cage. This will provide safety from dangerous marine life and ease buoyancy control. Additionally it allows the possibility of sleep and food - nutritions in liquid form delivered from the support divers. To counter the long waiting time the contestants will be provided with under water TV, music and waterproof reading material.

I fell asleep waiting for some AOW students to finnish a 50m square for AOW nav. They came back and just gave me a little shake.

Heh...I've come close to nodding off while hanging out on the line...but never actually fell asleep. With a little more time I'm sure I could have =)
