So picture the scene, last night I was up, catching up on my TV shows, snacks beside me and in a very comfortable position. Next thing I know, I'm feeling groggy, the TV show is a few episodes ahead and it's 2am...
I'd fallen asleep on my sofa! 
Does this only happen when you get older and are there any other signs I need to look for? Please, it's a crisis  |

It pains me that you're so young.
Yeah it's all downhill from here. Soon your body will start creaking. You'll want to hang out with young people to hold on to those last remnants of youth in vain.
It happened to me last night. I'm looking at saga holidays. |

"Get used to it, sorry.
Downhill all the way now.
Along with multiple toilet visits every night. Buggered knees. And many more..."
Nooooo! It must be reversible somehow, I'm not ready for broken sleep  |

I absolutely love falling asleep on the sofa, enjoying that fact that I’ve given in to my body and rested when I needed too.
Although waking with dribble down my chin isn’t a good look.
At least I hope it’s dribble  |

The saga holiday is a worrying sign! I'm sure you're still young at heart. Wait? That's a thing old people say isn't it? |

Fucking hell. Young at heart! Grim. Next we'll be saying oh I might be 27/33 but I feel 21.
Game over at that point. |

27 is the new 37. According to one medical report, the current generation is the first in human history, who will a lower average age than their parents. |

That's a very optimistic way of looking at it. Beats trying to put my phone away for the night too  |

"Do you have to make a noise, when you get up, now?
Does all current music sound the same?"
I'll have to check the next time I need to bend over to pick something up. And it does, it's all just noise!  |

If you walk the streets and struggle to understand some youth fashion.. that could be the sign. Three times in recent weeks I spotted young boys sporting what I can only call upside down curly mop  . Actually better. A sheep which got into a d*unk fight with a lawnmower after a night out, in the dark of the barn.
There you go. Napping is good for you. You'll be fine.

Don't fight it. Just put the TV on a timer. Though "back in the day" used to get woken up on the sofa to the sound of the queen (god bless her) |

I just think the beds a few doors down, go there!
Not an issue so much if it's a partner to be fair and they fall asleep when you're playing with their hair or something I guess but... |

Also I think I realised I was starting to get old when I started cancelling meeting with friends out and lying about feeling unwell just because I really couldn't be assed that night |

"Please you’re age you’re only young
Start complaining when you have to get up for piss at stupid o’clock in morning
Youngsters these days  "
Already been up a couple of times thinking I needed to go but managed to hold it in until the morning. Playing a dangerous game as I get older though |

"When you end up sprawled on the pavement and people don't ask if you "fell over" but if "had a fall"... Watch out cos your days are numbered!"
I think you would do it on purpose to get a big, strong man to help you up |

Or when it's you're birthday and someone asks how old you are and saying "21" is seen as an obvious joke  |

"I very rarely stay up past 10 now and record everything. I just go to bed and read for a while. Yes it's a sign of getting old or maybe a few good books still need to be read!"
Reading is a good shout before bed. Used to do it all the time before my phone took over my life |

So even the queen wasn't impressed with you falling asleep. That's how serious this is! |

"You ought to book yourself in at a care home straight away.
27 and 'am I getting old?' FFS..."
I would, but I'm afraid I'd fall asleep all the time and the nurses would have to keep waking me to take my daily medication  |

Oh I did that in my late teens because I thought it would be crap as I didn't drink. If I go out more now though, am I reverse ageing? |

"It definitely happens when you get older
I find being in my lovely house, cosy and comfortable far more appealing than going out these days "
I think it's the going out that's caused this to be fair. Maybe I need to start staying in with a cup of tea more often |
