Clannad I fell asleep on 3 occasions necessitating re-winds.

Fairly certain I dozed off during an Aria The Natural episode or two (or at the minimum I'd started to nod off before catching myself). Possibly Honey and Clover, too.

A few times but that was usually because I was tired, if it was an interesting anime I would just rewind back to the part where I feel asleep.

gits, about 5 times when it used to air on adult swim. one episode i heard this really good song, and was actually going to watch the whole episode to see if they played it again, but fell asleep sometime after.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

Yes, it happened when I watch diamond no ace, it was just super long and too dramatic, so I ended up sleep with my laptop watched me sleep.

Once, it was late and I was watching Boogiepop phantom, the story telling can be VERY slow on that show (but a 10/10 regardless), the next day I have to re-watch that episode

Yes, and I haven't even been watching them for that long. But then again I fall asleep doing a lot of things that I like doing / are important.

What I haven't done is gone completely to sleep. It's always been a sort of cat-nap or half-sleep where I nod off for a few minutes to a few hours, but have a hazy and disordered memory of what I heard and felt at the time.

It's one way I can tell if I'm watching something good; I won't bother to rewatch what I missed if it's not that great.

I have watched some boring ass shows, but if a show gets THAT boring then I am dropping that shit fam.
And yes, I dropped Clannad as well tbh.
Yay me.

I don't watch anime I find boring and I don't watch when I'm sleepy/close to bedtime.

So, no...

I use to watch TV (cartoons/teen shows) when I was younger until I eventually drifted off, if that accounts for anything. I didn't like silence, so I watched TV.

I've also nearly fell asleep on a crappy japanese horror film if that counts... I would of fell asleep but I kept waking myself up since I didn't want to be rude to my friend I was watching with. But I'm not into horror and it was like a major budget film, so cheesy and boring. I didn't enjoy it ._.

I dozed off watching an episode of Dragon Ball Z. But, that was probably because it was an episode featuring Great Saiyaman.

Go to sleep, if anime is boring and nothing to make me cling. Sometimes I fall asleep on plot twists, even in beloved and favorite anime. The reason is predictable and dry feed.
In short, do the plot twists are delicious :)
May be some anime?

Naruto, but I was jet lagged and was trying to marathon 8-9 episodes as soon as I got back, last 2 episodes before I went to bed.

Mushishi, I was ill and yeah this was dull as hell.

Serial Lain Experiment, so much positive from community, but seriously just knocking me out.

Last time I remember fishing was watching some episodes of Spice and Wolf and Ghost in the Shell SAC. They are interesting but a few episodes were just a snoozefest.

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.

So cyooote. *O*

I wish I have. That would help me sleep, but AFAIR I'm always awake when watching anime.

Yes, a bunch of times actually.

If I'm not very interested in a show and I'm tired I'll get sleepy and fall asleep very easily.

Tanaka-kun can be compared to Jigglypuff's song if it were extended to 24 minutes.

No that would never happen to me, if I'm tired I'd just shut it off and go to sleep or power through with willpower. Came pretty close watching Aria though.

A couple times. Most notably with Musaigen. In that case I didn't even bother to go back and watch what I missed.

For some reason, no matter what I'm watching or reading, I have to give it my full attention. Even if I hate it with a passion, I refuse to look away or fall asleep. Or miss even one minute of it.
It's a curse, lol.

Many times, sometimes because I find it boring and sometimes just because I'm tired.

I'm not entirely sure I've seen the end of Full Metal Panic. I was lying on the end of my bed, in a position that's very comfortable but always puts me to sleep. Next thing I knew I was blinking my eyes at the DVD menu.

I just can't fall asleep while reading sth., watching sth. or even music is on that I am used to actually listen to.

The only thing I ever fell asleep to was when trying to read Henry Miller's *exus (don't remeber which one).
Years later I tried again, the same thing happened, and I wasn't even tired to begin with.

So that is some outstanding quality his writing has there. Never saw a reason to try any other of his works.

I fell asleep watching Yu-Gi-Oh quite a few times, but I used to make VHS tapes so I'd watch them in my spare time. Another time I almost fell asleep watching La Cordo D'oro.I guess it happens every now and then.

during school days (not talking about the anime) because I'm really tired and I'm not getting enough sleep during those days

I've never fallen asleep during vacation though so it's not the anime's fault. It's school's fault
