Still do, but no guilt. Waking up in the morning and continuing is an interesting experience...
Billy goat made a comment, some time back that she mentioned it to her pastor.
His comment was something along the lines of "what better place to fall asleep, than in the arms of your daddy?"
I did too, but silly old me told someone in the congregation and then I got counselled for it!!! Honestly, they told me that it was disrespectful to Jehovah. So I tried praying at different times of day and ended up hardly praying at all. Those stupid dubs have a lot to answer for...
Nowadays I pray much more often and yes I do fall asleep praying. Someone jokingly said it was a good way to get to sleep, well to be honest I've noticed that the mindset of saying a prayer is similar to that of visualisation and some forms of meditation, and yes, it does help you get to sleep if you were suffering insomnia.

LOL.....Yes I did. I did feel a bit guilty about it,I just apoligized about it the next day.
It strikes me funny,I would have never thought many people did that.
The JW's sure make God out to be a big meanie,don't they?
prayed?
Well I've done a lot of daydreaming in bed but I've never taken it to the next level by praying
It happens but I don't feel guilty for it because I don't just pray to 'get things'. When I pray at night, I try to just make it about my feelings and thoughts on life so it is usually relaxing enough that I would fall asleep anyway...
Of course I did! I eventually figured out why my prayers were half answered!
By the way, do sleepwalkers pray?

Best experience was always when falling asleep while praying ... then awaken ... and then continuing prayer feeling guilty not to remember what i said in the beginning.
ALL THE TIME! LOL
Ha Gumby!
I forgot about that one. I used to feel so quilty afterwards. LOL.
I remember the WTS stressing to pray before getting into bed, kneeling down on the cold floor, etc, something like that, so you wouldn't fall asleep before finishing, so I think it must have occured quite a lot.
We don't fall asleep when talking to our loved one in bed.
I've "heard" of people falling asleep, while making love in bed !
