Best excuses if you get caught sleeping on the job

I was not sleeping I was attempting to show the student what snoring respiration's sound like so he / she would be able to identify them.

One of the 4ths on my squad has fallen asleep in training, while eating dinner, in class, in the rig (while transporting a patient!)...he blames too much time spent studying the protocol books.

Its hilarious to see the paramedic sit in the captains seat and nod off during a transfer.....with a pt on board...made me laugh out loud every time

Old buddy of mine, medic since the very first medic class in Tarrant County in '76 (same one Dr. Bledsoe was in), worked for almost 20 years as a diabetic. But in his last few years on the streets in the early 90's, it started taking its toll on him and it got harder to regulate. He was frequently falling asleep on runs and hard to arouse at the station. He finally fell asleep at a patient's side during a transport one day and that was the end of his career. Shame, cuz he was one of the best medics I ever worked with.
