My whole life I’ve been told that if you fall asleep in the bath then you’ll drown, or something. But is this true? I’m a grown ass adult I think I’d just wake up if my head fell under water

    Cool! I’m not entirely sure because I know little about it, but you may have actually brought up a valid point! It’s a shame we had to climb a mountain of snark and smartassery to get to that possibility.

        It’s a battle of evolution: we lost our ability to do that, but have a decent reflex to catch ourselves from danger. It’s why I don’t fall off a bed. Even when that bed is a hammock on top of a tree.
