    LOL. I was playing in a FT freeroll this morning after about 9 hours of poker. I started dozing off when I had about 8,000 chips, with about 1200 players left. Next thing I know it's an hour later and I'm still sitting at my computer. I look, and I've still got 1800 chips! So I start playing again. I went on a hot streak I have rarely seen, and in about 15 minutes I'm sitting in 22nd place with 48,000 chips. I wish this story had a better ending, but I pushed with K-10 suited and got knocked out by pocket sixes in 62nd place. So close, yet so far. Oh well.

    I often fall asleep during a tournament when I play after work

    I once fell asleep in an online tournament after 5 beers. I woke up only in the morning :)

    Falling asleep during a poker tournament is never a good idea, as it compromises your performance, concentration and ability to make strategic decisions. To avoid falling asleep, make sure you're well rested before you start, take regular breaks, eat light and stay well hydrated to stay alert. If you feel you're getting too tired, it's best to take a break or skip the tournament.
