Falling Asleep in Splits

[gymnasticsbabie]

Has anyone ever falling asleep in a split??? Was it hard to sleep? I mean obviously it was hard, but how did you do it if you did lol
I'm actually thinking about trying to fall asleep in one of my splits lol

My coach told us that she used to wake up in her split the day before a meet or any other time that she was thinking lots about gymnastics. Once I couldn't sleep cause I couldn't get comfy so I sat in a split for a while and tried to sleep and then when I stopped I was much more comfortable and fell asleep!

I did! I always took my notes for AP world while sitting splits; I remembered the material better. Anyway, the day after Sadies, I was so tired because I'd gone to an afterparty, and low and behold, I fell asleep doing my homework in the splits. I was tryin so hard to stay awake, too!

I fell asleep in my split one time during flexibilty training at gym, and then I woke up and remembered where i was, it was pretty funny. But the longest I've ever held my split for was 20 min. I couldn't feel my leg when I stood up again. :P

I just tried it last night! I tried to fall asleep in a frog split (middle split w/bent knees) it actually worked for like 10 mins and then i thought of how uncomfortable it was and I couldn't get my mind off of it so i ended up coming out of it. but I actually got pretty sleepy so I think I can do it tonight. plus if anything I can just sleep in on saturday before practice!

if anyone else tries it, let me know how it goes!

Hey everyone,

I don't actually think it's that good of an idea to fall asleep in splits because I think it can cause like your legs to go numb and stuff but that is just something I have heard before so don't quote me.

But I used to sleep in a straddle stretch just laying with my belly on the ground and it was quite comfy so maybe splits are the same way!!
