There are no words…

Jo Bryant,

The Half Sit-up
To achieve the half sit-up, you must begin with the intention of exercising your abs and promptly fall  asleep midway through the task. This position is extremely advanced and not recommended for amateur sleepers.

The Awkward Spoon
The goal here is not so much for intimacy, as it is the socially uncomfortable sharing of your physical space with someone. Bonus points if your arm falls asleep and you’re too scared to move it.

The Cool  Dude
The  trick here is to look totally relaxed while you’re really extremely uncomfortable.

Bed Hog
The goal is not so much comfort, as an expression of sheer, unadulterated  greed.

Thinking Outside the  Box
Two of your feet – preferably on opposite sides of your body –  must remain outside the box at all times.

The Pile-Up
You end up colliding with at least three others, and you are hoping they all have insurance.

Be The Box
You must be able to get your whole body in the box, no matter what it takes. Become one with the box!

The Radiator
Your main goal here is not about comfort……it’s just about warmth.

The Sleeping Dog
This one is easy.

Find a dog.

Imitate the dog.

The Positive Thinker
You refuse to be let a bad situation get the best of you.

The Drying  Rack
Imagine that you are a wet t-shirt.  Drape yourself accordingly.

The Head-Rush
Lay on your back, head hanging off the side, paws in the air – and let gravity do the rest. A pounding headache will incur shortly.

The Non-Conformist
You will first need to find two willing conformists, in order to make your statement.

The Mid-Sentence
This position is only for those with extreme forms of narcolepsy.

Some Assembly Required
Have a friend take you apart and then try to reassemble you from memory.

Same as above, except without the box.

The Dog Bed
It’s probably the most comfortable bed you will ever sleep on, but smells kind of funky.

The Dreaded Mid-Afternoon Slump
Eating a big lunch, then falling asleep at your desk.

The Old Married Couple
Your mate’s snoring no longer bothers you.

Thank you Dragonkatet for this wonderful e-mail.

  19. Great post, make me laugh very hard (and wanting a cat right now again…).
    My dogs have some odd sleeping positions, too, and I often wonder if they ever get a headache or a stiffed neck.. I guess not.

    1. So glad you liked the post…but…I can take no credit for the words…it was ALL in the e-mail. Some people are very clever aren’t they. I do have another e-mail of kitty photos where there are no words…and I am working on that one myself…wish me luck with it. I will post it when I finish…though whether it will be as good as this is doubtful.
      😉
