Not while Im in a tree. But on the ground , Oh ya. Last week I fell asleep on a flat Rock. I stopped while still hunting and decided to lay down for a minute. It was 16 degrees. I slept for an hour and didn't no where i was when I woke up.I had to sit there for a couple minutes till my Brain started working again. __________________ >>>>----> NJH Pro Staffer.

thats pretty useful to me considering i fall asleep every single time i go deer hunting. __________________ When people ask me why I hunt I simply say why do you breathe, why do you sleep, why do you eat? It's not something you just do, It's a way of life.

It's usually when I get my best sleep. It's funny when you wake up and don't realize where you are or how you got there
