No, not the kind of sleep like when you go to bed... the kind of sleep where your brain just isn't thinking.
Here's a fine example where I "fell asleep". :'(

As sincerity should be rewarded I will not post this game in the 'CHECKMATE in under 20 moves' thread 🙂

I sleep (like as night) during OTB games, but my brain still works on the position. When I am fully awake, however, I fall asleep in the sense you mean.

I certainly hope others will post their blunders so I don't have to kill myself. 😞

There's something missing in that exclamation. I am just not sure what.

Thanks for sharing that with us. Not quite as bad as my blunder, but quite interesting.
