Being a Narcoleptic and Sleep Apneac, I found this list of excuses rather amusing. I thought you might enjoy them, as well.
*******

Subject: Best excuses if you get caught sleeping at your desk:

1. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

2. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the
last time management course you sent me to."

3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper"

4. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and
envisioning a new paradigm!"

5. "This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people !"

6. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance"

7. "I was actually doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP)
that I learned at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend."

8. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory
towards people who practice Yoga?"

9. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."

10. "The coffee machine is broke...."

11. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot."

12. "Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!"

13. "Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!"

14. "I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up a contact lens without hands."
