Used to all the time. Think it’s because I had a futon throughout my teens and early 20s and didn’t develop enough height/danger response while sleeping as a result.

That said, Offspring II falls out of bed all the time so maybe it’s genetic :thinking:

Haven’t fallen out of bed for ages, but did wake up last week with a big bump on my head which I assume was from banging it on the bedside table so a close call…

Never but twice in the last few months I have jumped out of bed whilst still asleep and having a nightmare that I’m covered in spiders.

Did it a few months ago when I was in the little bed after waking up and thinking I was in the big bed.

I got stung by a wasp whilst I was out running the other month and had flashbacks to the 999 episode where a jogger nearly died from a bee sting

Didn’t have my phone! That’s why I was panicking.

Just poured some water on it and went home

MICHAEL BURKE: Thankfully, @RoverHendrix lived to laugh about his potentially fatal bee encounter.

If you find yourself in the same situation, remember these steps.

Used to hear the young boy on the top bunk in the flat above me fall out of bed with a thud on a regular basis, followed by wailing.

Fell out of bed a few months ago at the caravan when I misjudged that the mattress was actually half over the bed - lay down on the bed and ended up trapped on the crack between the bed and the caravan wall. That was fun!

I’m sorry but this has really made me laugh :smiley:

It was really bad because I was stuck in such a way I couldn’t leverage myself up without putting my full weight on the flimsy caravan wall. My dad just laughed in disgust.

After the first couple of times it happened, if you were the kid’s parent wouldn’t you maybe install some kind of barrier?

Well I live alone froglet so no one knew it was a problem until I made this thread

You would if you were a decent parent. These people were not.
