Have you ever fallen asleep while flying a glider? Details?



I'm really glad to see that glider pilots apparently never nod off, not for even a few seconds, on those long XC flights. Or they don't remember that ever happening.

I've had several passengers/copilots admit to nodding off in the Duo, but never anyone that was actually flying. Some people find the cockpit all warm and cozy and good for a nap. Even when thrashing around in nasty little thermals down low.
