When this troper's smart-ass father is in bed with her mother and actually sleeping, he will scoot up to Mom to cuddle, then scoot away when he gets too warm, then comes back to her when he has cooled off. It keeps her up all night if she isn't in a deep enough sleep. What is so cute about this is what happens if Mom ''isn't'' in bed with Dad. He'll start nudging to the other side of bed to ''find Mom in his sleep.'' D'aw.

Little kids (aside from the shipping part, eww) are good for this. I was at a cousin's wedding reception and held another cousin's baby daughter for him. She fell asleep on my shoulder. Cue mom's "Awww, how adorable!" and dad's "You should get some of your own."

Unlike the topmost troper's, my parents can't do this, because she's heat-sensitive and he "is like sleeping next to a water heater".

I just found out a friend has an entire folder on her laptop dedicated to pictures taken of her friends sleeping on various occasions, this troper included. (Cuter than it sounds)

My sister has a picture of her and her boyfriend like this. It's adorable.

Before we started going out, my boyfriend and I sat together on the bus on the way home from a really, really long parade[Marching Band FTW]. I ended up leaning on him and I imagine that we both fell asleep. I wouldn't have been surprised if the band mom in front of us snuck a few looks. Sort of subverted in that I can't exactly watch myself when I'm sleeping, but...

Back in high school, this Swedish troper went to Germany with her school. On the bus, a friend of mine happened to sit next to a boy whom we had gone to school with for two years, but didn't know since we didn't have any classes with him. After about half an hour they both fell asleep, my friend with her head on the boy's shoulder and his arms around her. They slept for several hours and the rest of the people on the bus (including the boy's friends) squee'd over their cuteness. Then they woke up and went on not knowing each other. I don't think they ever said one single word to each other.

This troperette has had some pretty boring days in Phys Ed, which usually leads to me calling over a certain friend and falling asleep on her shoulder. One time in middle school, I woke up to find my head in her lap. We're both straight and it's totally platonic. I'm usually willing to fall asleep on ANYBODY's shoulders, she's just the comfiest and most willing to let me.

When the choir I'm in was sitting in the bus back from a performance, me and some other people I didn't know that well sat in the back. Me and another girl ended up sleeping against the shoulder of the same guy, and a third girl slept against the shoulder of another guy. I even heard other people make comments about how cute it looked.

In my experience, two people always crash into a position like this one at the end of house parties.

Apparently, this anon troper and her boyfriend. He had an overnight party, we'd both been up since early that morning, and stayed up until the following dawn on account of obnoxious "friends". So when we finally did fall asleep, curled up on his couch, this trope was in such full effect that said "friends" let us sleep until noon - when we actually needed to be up somewhat early.

This (male) troper once had a close female friend fall asleep with her head on his shoulder during a movie. Still one of the cutest things he's ever seen.

Not a very interesting movie, huh?

Can't even remember what it was...

A friend of This Tropette was once camping with his Nakama. Two of the guys started spooning in their sleep, so my friend naturally took pictures of them as blackmail. The pictures are completely adorable, though it's completely understandable why the heterosexual teenage males aren't too thrilled about the GayMoment.

While not a romantic example, this troper's Sister Dear and Cousin of the Green Hair, when both were tennish, slumped onto each-other's shoulders during a long car trip. Both were more than a wee bit prickly at the time, Sister Dear especially, and their unguarded sleeping faces caused much squeeing in the rest of the car... until Mum turned back to get a photo of them. The flash woke them both and they swore about as ripely as ten-year-olds tend to manage.

Me and my friend did this once. I stayed over at her house after a party, and there was only one bed, so we slept together. When I woke up, she had her arms round me and I thought it was kind of cute, wish there was some way I could see what we looked like.

My sister is 5 years younger than me, and a little sweetheart, with a voice that will forever sound like a child's no matter what age she is. When she was around 12 to 15, during family trips at night, we would doze off in the back seats and I would wake up to find her head laying lightly against my shoulder... sometimes with her hands upon my tummy. I would usually slowly put my head over her's in return, careful not to put too much pressure as to wake her up. ... such a sweet little sister.

This tropers cat loves to wrap herself around peoples heads whilst their sleeping. Dawwww.

Similarly, my cat will dig her way under the covers and sleep curled up against them. It ''has'' startled a few friends at sleepovers when they weren't expecting it, though. (Imagine waking up to a big fuzzy thing pressed up against your belly...)

This troper and her girlfriend were found by the rest of their camping group, the morning after the night of their first AccidentalKiss-followed-by-actual-kissing, curled up together in their sleeping bags. They assumed it was platonic. They were wrong.

I have absolutely no problem sharing a bed with any of my friends, regardless of gender. Several times, I've gone to sleep with an arm around them. It's completely platonic.

I usually have a perma-scowl on that unnerves people, but when I'm asleep, people are apt to take pictures.

This troper went up to a football game with two of her friends. They claimed they were completely platonic, but on the drive back they feel asleep in the car leaning on each other's shoulder, smiling like idiots and all cuddled up. Biggest "Awww!" moment ever.

My brother and I went shopping with a few friends. In the car, on the way back from the mall, my brother and I (both terrible shoppers) fell asleep cuddled up next to each other. My friends took pictures.

Happened several times with my ex. First met her and started crushing on her at a summer camp, but a few weeks in I started to suspect that she was going out with someone else. Sure enough, the last night of camp they both fell asleep on the couch next to each other, so I just did an IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy and walked out. A few months later, after they had already split up, our confession of love was essentially falling asleep next to each other holding hands.

This troper tends toward this trope. If I fall asleep sitting up next to someone warm, I instinctively start to snuggle up to them, creating some rather awkward moments. Though cats and lemurs do that and it doesn't seem to bother them...

After a flirting-filled school-trip in France, myself and the girl with whom the flirting had happened were next to eachother on the bus home. This trope happened, but a mutual friend decided to cock-block and push us apart.

Happened to this Troper on the school bus with a completely platonic friend of hers. It was a band trip, and we had to be at the school around 6:00 AM to leave, so naturally, everyone was much more tired than they would be ordinarily. So as soon as we started driving, I pulled my pillow out of my bag and went to sleep. When I woke up to shift positions, my friend was sleeping on my shoulder. I almost squee'd out loud.

This troper remembers when she was little the only time her sister seemed peaceful was when she was asleep. This holds true to this very day. Melissa I love you but you are a pain in the ass.

On long car trips this troper and her five brothers are regularly falling asleep on each other's shoulders. I have pictures of four of my brothers and cousins all asleep in the same bed while three of them are tangled up adorable especially considering that they usually try to kill each other. She's also always had a little bit of a dream to be caught in one of these with a love interest.

Once my friend Violet (SheIsNotMyGirlfriend) fell asleep on me when we were watching PushingDaises on DVD in the basement, only for her to wake up and hear "Can you help us get out of these body bags?" Somewhere a shipper is binging on that moment.

My best friend is irritable, short-tempered and not exactly pedantic about her appearance. But every once in a while she'll do something to remind me why she's inherently lovable. The best had to be when she'd worked herself into exhaustion over her exam revision, and I came back to find her curled up on the corner of the sofa with all the frustration gone from her face. It was so cute I wanted to wake her up and point it out (she's a keen tropespotter, too) but realised doing so would just ruin the moment. Besides, she needed the rest.

According to a close male friend of mine, we'll call him A, he had two of our mutual male friends, B and C, spending the night at his house. B fell asleep while they were watching TV, and when A went into the bathroom, C fell asleep, too. When A came back, he found B and C spooning on the floor. The best part? B was the 'big spoon', meaning he'd rolled over in his sleep in order to cuddle C (rather than C having set it up while awake). I, obviously, didn't personally see it, but it is the cutest mental picture ever.

This troper lives with her two male roommates, who have more than a bit of the Heterosexual Life Partner vibe going on. We were all sitting together watching TV and insulting each other like we normally do, and things went quiet. This troper looks over to see both boys sleeping soundly on either side of her, in a rare moment of peace and non-obnoxiousness. After enjoying the cuteness for a bit, she got up to do the dishes. The boys woke up next to each other and a hilariously awkward moment followed.
