I was just resting my eyes, honest! Hilarious collection of pictures shows how people can fall asleep almost ANYWHERE and in the most uncomfortable of positions 

We have all had times when we felt so sleepy all we wanted to do was close our eyes and have forty winks - but this collection of pictures takes it to new levels.
The bizarre images, gathered from around the world, show how some of us seem perfectly happy to nod off in strange places when tiredness takes over.
In one shot, a man is captured sleeping upside down on a train seat while another picture shows a worker dozing on top of an industrial road roller.
A police officer takes a well earned break nodding off next to a gun and a bullet vest in one photo while another man was captured on camera sleeping standing up at a party.

 It may not be the most comfortable pillow, but this dozing train passenger seems perfectly happy to rest his sleepy head on a metal handrail

Lazy days: Why use a bed when you can clamber up a parking sign and rig up a make-shift hammock 10ft above a sidewalk in full view of everyone?
