Fun site of the day: You Fell Asleep Watching a DVD

editor

If you’re anything like me, you often times put on a DVD too late at night, maybe even with the lights off, and were sound asleep 20 minutes later. Then a few hours later, or maybe even the next morning, you wake up on the couch or passed out on top of your bed and the once cute but now totally irritating DVD menu is still looping the same images and song in 30 second intervals. It’s bugging you so much, but you can hardly muster the strength in your sleepy state to turn off the darn TV.

Apparently the phenomenon is more universal than I’d ever imagined, as the site You Fell Asleep Watching a DVD proves. After 5 tries, did you really think you’d finally get through “Pride and Prejudice”? No way.

Check out this funny site, and tell us what horribly annoying DVD menus you’ve passed out to. Mine would have to be any season of “Sex and the City” or the James Bond movie “Diamonds are Forever” I was watching at my boyfriends house at 2 a.m. last weekend. I cringe just thinking about the 007 theme. [You Fell Asleep Watching a DVD]

    The worst was when I fell asleep watching Bridget Jones' Diary. I woke up hours later thinking, "What the heck is that annoying music?" Turns out it was the menu for the movie. I couldn't watch that movie for years afterward because I couldn't get over that menu music. I still have to mute it when I put the movie on.

    Ha ha ha, I love how there is a few beers, a pipe, and a lighter on the table. No wonder you're falling asleep. =D It's okay, can't say I don't so the same thing all the time.

    This week I can not sleep unless I put on the TV and pop a picture in. I usually wake up about an hour later and shuffle to my room. I find that I get better sleep in front of the TV.

    I have a great dvd I bought at WalMart during Christmas time. It is a virtual snow globe and it was $1. The music is so relaxing and there is a nice soft snow falling on screen. I don't usually fall asleep with the TV on but I put this on to relax during the holidays and woke up like 2 hours later! I am keeping around for those time when nothing relaxes me! So cool - no pills, no side effects, no nasty noise waking you up! LOVE IT

    I fall asleep to korean and japanese language DVD's.

    Especially the korean ones because it is something about that language that soothes me.

    I fall to sleep watching CNN, to only awake all night long with nightmares.
