always

Never had the opportunity as I've never given a speech. I'm not the sort to be giving speeches. I'm quiet and terse.

Giving one or listening to one? The answer is yes to at least one of those.

Never. That seems entirely impossible for me so far in my life.

People talk about a TV show or whatever being "good to fall asleep to." I can't relate at all. I basically could never fall asleep to a TV show. Let alone at a speech, lecture, concert, play, movie, class, service, poetry recitation, meditation circle, hoedown, etc. Doesn't matter how boring a speech it is or how sleep deprived I am. It's just never going to happen. (Hell. I've never neglected to turn the light off before falling asleep. Like, literally never.)

To be fair, I suppose I am excluding times from before my first memories, so I guess as a toddler things might have been different. Also, maybe as I get older, that'll eventually change? Who knows.

I think I'm unusual in the extent to which I'm unlikely to fall asleep in such a situation. It's my lame superpower. Lol.

I have fallen asleep in other circumstances like the cinema, watching tv with my wife, etc.

I haven't completely fallen asleep on a speech but I have been close, when I was in college there was some talks/speeches and I had to battle to keep my eyes open, and I couldn't stop yawning, but won the battle and didn't fall.

my girlfriend-now-wife wasn't amused with my victory and said something like I was yawning too much and I should have showed more respect to this special invited speaker from somewhere I don't remember...
