I know I have.

Clannad was basically a let's play of a VN, without any voice commentary. It works better than valium.

I remember how I was high and wanted to sleep but couldn't, so I started watching ranpo kitan. Worked like a charm..

Most of elitist-like anime make me sleep (Lain, Texhnolyze, Monster, Shinsekai Yori...)

You just lost the game

Yea, definitely. It was One Punch Man for me. Same setup, same fights, and too much repetitiveness bored the hell out of me and before long I was asleep during the middle of Saitama's attack on the alien spaceship
thanks @grimace for the jon stamp i love you

I wouldn't say I completely fell asleep, but I did fall asleep one time for like 5 minutes, then woke up to turn it off. Also, there were quite a few times where I was half-asleep, as in I couldn't register it ('it' being anything that was happening) in my mind.

Back when I used to stay up until 4 am sometimes I would get so tired while watching anime that I had to pause halfway through an episode because I knew I wouldn't be able to stay awake through the rest of it. This was back when I slept in my loft and sometimes I wouldn't even have the energy to bring my laptop back down and ended up sleeping with it on top of me. When I was still working at Tim Hortons and had shifts that started at 6 am (now my shifts always start at 6 pm) sometimes I would watch an anime episode as a "bedtime story" in an effort to try to get myself to fall asleep, but it never really worked. Maybe instead I should have tried an anime from my dropped list to fall asleep. I'm sure FLCL would be a good way to do it.

I haven't felt asleep a single time watching anime, but there were animes that made me sleepy, especially cuz I used to do all-nighters a lot, one of them would be Log Horizon, the first season was soo slow that I'd just feel sleepy whilst watching it and sometimes I just watch the anime without remembering what happened a minute ago, but to fall asleep WHILE watching anime.... that did not happen to me yet

No, that's never happened to me. If I feel I'm getting too tired to keep my attention on something, I stop watching and go to sleep before I can fall asleep while watching it.

I get sleepy if it's late and I'm watching anime but I've never actually fallen asleep while watching it so, no for me.

Really only a slice of life or shounen anime. Just something that doesn't require any deep concentration.

No, never. I found animes who bored me a lot, but never to the point of making me fall asleep. That's too much.

I often watch anime while I'm in bed so I tend to go to fall asleep when I'm tired.

I took a nap while I was watching K missing kings. It wasn't boring but I was too sleepy to follow the plot. It wasn't great either tbh.

Used to fall asleep a lot when I tried to stay up late and watch stuff. Now I know better, I just watch Tanaka-kun before I go to sleep.

No, at least not until the way that I totally fall asleep. The closest thing to this is I feels bored and want to sleep when I watched Mahouka.

Never. I have a hard time falling asleep as it is, so I'd have to be very, very tired to doze off while doing (watching) something, and if I'm that tired I wouldn't be watching in the first place.

You might as well skip the whole 15 episodes and you still wouldn't have missed a thing..

You ain't kidding. Guy meets bimbo anime stereotype, they talk for what feels like 9 hours about how clever they think they are because they admit they're stereotypes, she has a supernatural problem that needs to be fixed in the last minute, rinse and repeat

If I benchwatch a show, I go usually 6-12 hours without sleep so yes, I occasionally fall asleep. Anime I remember falling asleep on, Naruto,Darker than Black, recommended starting 6:00 A.M then take a break at 10:00 P.M ;) P.S go to sleep when you need it or you will stay up midnight and sleep in the day currently fixing mine XD

There was a period some years ago, when I used to sit on a fluffy armchair when I was watching anime, and had some difficulties with getting sleepy from 23:00 to 01:00 AM. And I am quite sure that I even fall asleep once... I am not sure if I was watching the anime or just tried to rest my eyes for a little bit and failed... At this point trough, I have no problems. If I watch at or read something interesting I can easly skip a night of sleep... fuck sleep, is overrated...
