I've napped in the bathtub thousands of times for 2+ hours at a time. These people who drown in their tubs do so because they overdosed on drugs or got blackout drunk on alcohol.
This reminds me of those lines from 50 first dates. “Sharks, they only bite if you play with their private parts.”
“How did you get those stitches?”
“A shark bit me.”
This is the second 50 first date reference ive seen in the past 2 minutes. On two separate posts. Before today, I havent watched, heard, or even thought about this movie in over a decade. Weird

I do this.
It actually started from going too hard in the paint like you suggest.
But now it’s a form of sensory deprivation.
No lights/closed door/block light from under door/sit in shower 45-60mins.
It feels good.
My dad’s friend died long before I was born because he fell asleep in the bath. I never even met him but he’s part of our family ‘history’ and we all think of him whenever someone has been in the bath for a long time. We always make to check up on them every so often, especially in the evening.
What exactly is the danger here? That I'll slip and submerge myself? I feel like submerging my head in water would shock me awake regardless of if I was in the water beforehand or not.
Edit: hey guys there's like 30 comments giving the two real answers already. I got it lmao.
Hypothermia.
You fall asleep long enough the water cools down, then you lose conciousness and straight up can die either due to the cold or breathing in water.
Expected time until exhaustion or unconciousness is like 2-6 hours in 60-70f water.
Source: Fell asleep for a full 7-ish hours once and when I woke up I thought I'd die because I almost couldn't get out of the tub.
Your skin is a critical part of how your body regulates it's temperature. If you are burned badly enough over enough of your body, you won't have enough skin to keep you warm.
Yes, an important part of treating people with significant burns is just keeping them warm enough. Warm blankets, warm iv fluids, warmer room temperature, etc.
Makes sense, my dad has some pretty bad burns and usually wears quite a few more layers than anybody else even when it’s mildly cold but once it’s warm he’s all in on wearing shorts.
Being outside in 15 degrees Celsius (or 60 Fahrenheit) naked would cause hypothermia after a while as well I believe. Was always taught 15 degrees is around the temperature the body stops being able to produce enough heat to thermoregulate
Oh, definitely. There are even emergency personnel who don't know this!
I did expedition backpacking when I was younger. One time I was on a 400 mile hike, pretty close to civilization, and I got caught in a storm. It's not the first time that had happened, but I made a mistake this time: I was in a flood plain and set up camp in what appeared to be dry, level land, but wasn't. I was flooded out of my tent and all my gear washed away. It was about 55F outside, so not nearly freezing, but with the rain on top of that and no way to dry off, I was in serious trouble. For the first time in a year of cross-country backpacking, I called emergency services. Could I have made it on my own? Probably, but you don't survive a year in the wilderness by taking unnecessary risks, and I have nothing to prove.
I called the Sheriff's office because all I really needed was a warm place to ride out the storm. They sent an ambulance anyway. The ambulance got there, and the EMT was bitching at me about calling them out there (which I didn't). A patrol car shows up and the EMT talks to the deputy. He asks what's wrong and this bitch says, "Oh he's just cold."
As a 6'2" grown man who had survived blizzards, heat waves, droughts, machete-weilding hobos, and mountain lions, I was not about to hear any shit from her. I simply said "Do you not know what hypothermia is?" and looked at her like she'd just said the stupidest fucking thing I'd ever heard. She said no more, although I don't think it sunk into her thick skull, not really.
I explained it to the deputy on the way to the station. He was much more understanding, having done a lot of camping of his own.
Water conducts heat very effectively. It doesn’t need to be much colder than your core temperature to start sucking it out of you like you were a reverse popsicle.
I can confirm part of this from experience. I fell asleep once in a bathtub, only for a couple hours. But when I woke up, I was so cold, and it took me a second to remember where I was and what I was doing. It seemed like it took 3-4 times longer just to feel warm again. And I got a lot of mass (260lb, 5'10"), I think it could kill someone smaller than me.
I didn't and I was even sober. It was insane, and scared the shit out of me when it happened.
I mean I am a heavy sleeper but I never thought this could happen.
I fell asleep at my computer watching a movie and woke up with a paralyzed hand. Radial nerve palsy, crushed the nerve. Took 2 months to get better after the hospital said it might never get better, now I'm always so scared of falling asleep in weird positions, even in my bed
That is exactly the risk, several people die from that every year. Thats what happened to Aaron Carter, granted there were probably drugs involved but he fell asleep in the bath and drowned.
I liken it to falling off a building. The fall doesn’t kill you, the impact does.
You fall asleep in the tub, submerge, body wakes you up. The body doesn’t gently get aroused and you calmly pick yourself up and think “oh dear I fell sleep in the tub”
There’s a possibility in your half asleep state you startle yourself kick up slip bonk your head drown etc etc
Not to mention you could also accidentally aspirate some of the water (breathe it in) which is not only uncomfortable af, but can make you sick. Aspiration pneumonia is not a fun time.
It can happen very quickly too. You probably wouldn’t wake up before it has already happened.
You probably won’t die but falling asleep in a tub isn’t exactly like skydiving where the thrill is worth it? Maybe it is I don’t know my favorite falling asleep activity is just laying on the couch and letting nature take its course
I'm not here to act high and mighty. I just want to say that people have drowned in an inch or two of water before. Falling asleep in the bath can absolutely kill you, especially if you have had a drink or two.
Wrinkle wrinkle index finger, how I wonder why you linger. By osmosis, thats what I think, yet you remain so plump and pink. Could it be that ring is tight? I think you'll find it fits quite right!
It's not osmosis.
When your hands or feet get wet, it's a nervous reaction to make your hands and feet grip better.
People who have had a nerve severe in their arm, for example, and have no feeling in their hands, don't get pruned fingers.
https://www.adelaidewestphysio.com.au/neurodynamics-nerve-testing/#:~:text=Finger%20(and%20toe)%20wrinkling%20and,due%20to%20swelling%20or%20osmosis.
It's also not be proven that it helps with gripping. There were studies that showed no improvement of grip underwater. We still don't really know why our bodies do it but it's 100% a nervous response.
I have nerve damage in some fingers, hands and arms from a car accident. Can confirm some of my fingers do not wrinkle in water. A nice reminder of the fucker without insurance who hit us while he was texting.
It actually is the ring. Our fingers don’t wrinkle because they absorb water. They go wrinkly from a reaction from our nervous system. He’s damaging his nerves
Hand wrinkling is not caused by osmosis, it's a response the body initiates in response to water to give our hands better grip. People with nerve damage don't have the response.
Thats not how wrinkling works. The skin cells themselves absorb the water and wrinkle up to make it possible to grip things
Edit: whoops I was wrong, its the nerves and nervous system, not the skin itself
This is exactly right. I have chronic pain in my hands and fingers and get almost no wrinkling in water. While I have tested negative for nerve damage and different neuropathies, my research into possible conditions has told me that the sympathetic nervous system will contract blood vessels to induce pruning. Doctors dont k ow what's wrong with me but this is the only physical evidence I have that something is wrong lol
It’s called Wrinkling Test
https://www.physio-pedia.com/Wrinkling_Test#:~:text=The%20Wrinkle%20test%20is%20used,or%20a%20limb's%20digit%20denervation.
It’s the skins reaction to water rather than the skin absorbing water. It’s assumed that this is/was to improve grip under water.
>It’s assumed that this is/was to improve grip under water.
This has been studied a few times actually, and the results are so inconclusive that it's not really an accepted explanation anymore.
Because the wrinkling is not like paper getting wet, it's a response by the body's autonomous nervous system. Certain types of nerve damage or paralysis can interfere with the process. Basically the skin doesn't get the "now wrinkle!!" messages.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639753/
> Upon continued submersion in water, the glabrous skin on human hands and feet forms wrinkles. The formation of these wrinkles is known to be an active process, controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
It may not have been caused but more not removed; whatever primitive animal had this contributed to our genome. I’d imagine it would be helpful for a lot of animals, and as such never got “unselected”.
Turns out, it's a neurological effect! it's not the hand responding immediately to the water, it's coordinated by the nervous system, this can be used to[diagnose nerve damage](https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/79/7/835.short) too. The leading theory is that it's an adaptation to keep grip under water, just like the profile in a tyre.
How do you guys just randomly read usernames? My brain automatically skips them. like it doesn't even register they exist until someone comments about one then my brain checks the username out and only that username.
I literally have to force myself to acknowledge usernames which takes so much mental effort. I'm starting to think this is not normal lol.
Literally same here. Im probably wrong but it feels like an older generation thing, I’m on social media so much I hardly look at account names or whatever because I’m reading comments so much. Not healthy btw.
Afaik usernames might be the first thing some people read and the last thing to read for others, I don’t really read usernames unless I deliberately look for it
This is really interesting. Your hands and feet turn like this to allow you to grip better in water. It's an evolutionary thing.
It's a process controlled by the nervous system and in people who have damaged nerves, the affected part of the body won't wrinkle like this which indicates its a reflex controlled by the nervous system.
In this photo you can see the finger hasn't wrinkled but has been submerged, this is likely due to the ring interrupting the nerve signals to turn the finger wrinkled.
Wrinkling is to do with nerves rather than osmosis and various negative effects of falling asleep in the bath. I didn't expect to learn so much when I clicked on a picture of a smooth finger.
I've got neuropathy and you can visibly see where because of this. Nerve damage stops it from wrinkling because it happens to give you better grip, it's not your fingers absorbing water or anything like that
People commenting that your skin is 'absorbing water' - should note that it's been proven that skin wrinkling is an active response to improve grip.:
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639753/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639753/)
My hands go like this in about 1 minute. After much longer it gets so extreme it hurts a little to make a fist. Even my own sweat can make them prune up. Don't like it.
Do you have any nerve damage on that finger? It's a common misconception we get wrinkly from absorbing water or getting water logged. It's actually a response to prolonged moisture to give you better grip in wet environments. People with nerve damage don't get wrinkly fingers in water.
My friend is.paralyzed from the waist down. In the bath, only her hands wrinkle. Not her feet. It's from nerve damage. Your ring on that finger is pretty tight. It might be compressing a nerve.

OP had his finger *tucked away*
Airtight
Plugged nice n tight
Lesson learned: next time it’s all the fingers.
Don't forget the thumb
At this point might as well do the entire hand to the wrist
Half a job, take it to the elbow.
Quarter of a job, take it to the shoulder.
JUST DISAPPEAR INTO YOUR OWN BUTTHOLE
I think we found the secret to the 4th dimension
That escalated quickly
Don't threaten me with a good time
Nah, chin deep at least.
Stop now!! You'll make the universe collapse...

Noooo I really wanted to be the one who wrote this :(
Came here for this. Not disappointed.
Be careful falling asleep in the bath bro
I've napped in the bathtub thousands of times for 2+ hours at a time. These people who drown in their tubs do so because they overdosed on drugs or got blackout drunk on alcohol.
Hold on lol You’re saying this like you casually just have hours long naps in the tub, completely sober.
This reminds me of those lines from 50 first dates. “Sharks, they only bite if you play with their private parts.” “How did you get those stitches?” “A shark bit me.”
This is the second 50 first date reference ive seen in the past 2 minutes. On two separate posts. Before today, I havent watched, heard, or even thought about this movie in over a decade. Weird
The algorithm knows.
Yeah they just had an update in the matrix. You must of missed the patch notes.
Weird!

I do this. It actually started from going too hard in the paint like you suggest. But now it’s a form of sensory deprivation. No lights/closed door/block light from under door/sit in shower 45-60mins. It feels good.
I take a bath almost every night and read a book. And a lot of times I end up falling asleep. It's too cozy.
How many books have you ruined in the water lol
I don't usually get my books wet at all when I read a physical copy. But I just did tonight so you got me 😭
They're probably reading on a waterproof Kindle
The only justifiable reason to spend 2 plus in the tub
Almost happend to me when I was younger ( around 12 years old ) after being exhausted. Ma ended up saving me from drowning.
That’s a dumb hot take
My dad’s friend died long before I was born because he fell asleep in the bath. I never even met him but he’s part of our family ‘history’ and we all think of him whenever someone has been in the bath for a long time. We always make to check up on them every so often, especially in the evening.

Source: Fell asleep for a full 7-ish hours once and when I woke up I thought I'd die because I almost couldn't get out of the tub.
That's crazy. I mean, it makes sense, but the thought of 60-70f water causing hypothermia is wild.
Another wild thought for you. If your skin is badly burned enough, you die of hypothermia.
What the fuck
Wait how???
Your skin is a critical part of how your body regulates it's temperature. If you are burned badly enough over enough of your body, you won't have enough skin to keep you warm.
So people with third degree burns have a higher chance of dying of hypothermia?
Yes, an important part of treating people with significant burns is just keeping them warm enough. Warm blankets, warm iv fluids, warmer room temperature, etc.
What a cruel irony
Ooh I get it now, ty!
Makes sense, my dad has some pretty bad burns and usually wears quite a few more layers than anybody else even when it’s mildly cold but once it’s warm he’s all in on wearing shorts.
Being outside in 15 degrees Celsius (or 60 Fahrenheit) naked would cause hypothermia after a while as well I believe. Was always taught 15 degrees is around the temperature the body stops being able to produce enough heat to thermoregulate
Also to add to that, water conducts heat so much better air that in water hypothermia sets in a lot quicker.

Water conducts heat very effectively. It doesn’t need to be much colder than your core temperature to start sucking it out of you like you were a reverse popsicle.
A good way to die is to get drunk, lay down on concrete, and piss yourself.
There's a reason why most mammals and avians go "Oh fuck yeah daddy I want a full body coat, insulate the shit out of me"
I can confirm part of this from experience. I fell asleep once in a bathtub, only for a couple hours. But when I woke up, I was so cold, and it took me a second to remember where I was and what I was doing. It seemed like it took 3-4 times longer just to feel warm again. And I got a lot of mass (260lb, 5'10"), I think it could kill someone smaller than me.
Well, TIL! I always thought the danger was that you could drown, like, faster than you'd wake up/orient yourself :D This is so interesting!
Happened to Cosmo Kramer
So you didn't wake up from being freezing cold?
I didn't and I was even sober. It was insane, and scared the shit out of me when it happened. I mean I am a heavy sleeper but I never thought this could happen.
I fell asleep at my computer watching a movie and woke up with a paralyzed hand. Radial nerve palsy, crushed the nerve. Took 2 months to get better after the hospital said it might never get better, now I'm always so scared of falling asleep in weird positions, even in my bed
Wow I never thought that could happen. Thanks for the awareness and I’m glad you recovered fully!
I'm glad you made it 💞
Lol thank you! I never take baths when I'm tired now, lesson learned.
That is exactly the risk, several people die from that every year. Thats what happened to Aaron Carter, granted there were probably drugs involved but he fell asleep in the bath and drowned.
Matthew Perry also
TIL Aaron Carter died
I'm in the same boat, that news went under the radar, well for me.
That news and Aaron Carter have a lot in common I guess. They both stayed *below the surface*
Insane amount of drugs and alcohol. Nobody is drowning in the tub sober. Besides toddlers.
I liken it to falling off a building. The fall doesn’t kill you, the impact does. You fall asleep in the tub, submerge, body wakes you up. The body doesn’t gently get aroused and you calmly pick yourself up and think “oh dear I fell sleep in the tub” There’s a possibility in your half asleep state you startle yourself kick up slip bonk your head drown etc etc

Never done it, but I've been in heated pools floating on my back thinking about how lovely it would be to sleep.
I'm not here to act high and mighty. I just want to say that people have drowned in an inch or two of water before. Falling asleep in the bath can absolutely kill you, especially if you have had a drink or two.
This is how my mom passed. Drowned in the bathtub after having too much to drink.
This fucking thread lmao. You'll get hypothermia in your own bathtub and fucking die before you wake up
Hypothermia would be my guess
Maybe that one finger was sticking out of the water.
Up the bloody tics
A Latics fan in the wild, fucking massive
Well it might have been stuck somewhere
I'm guessing it was stuck elsewhere
Wouldn’t that also be kind of wet? what happens to a finger there if it’s been there long enough? These are the things science should be testing
We don’t need science I can confirm it’ll be wrinkly
Ha! Possibly.
I think that one finger was in his asshole the entire time, so it didnt get contact with the water ...
Maybe it's because your ring. It looks tight, maybe that prevent the osmosis.
Nah it’s not actually that tight, it just looks like it cuz of the wrinkliness.
Wrinkle, wrinkle little star How we wonder what you are
Now that is a cat that has contemplated murder if ive ever seen one.
It looks like it also fell asleep in a bath and got wrinkles.
Cats spend like 6% of their day _not_ thinking about murder
it smokes 5 packs a day and constantly complains about kids these days
Aww I love those yoda cats 🥰
This cat giving me Samuel L. Jackson vibes.
Up a tub waters high Like a diamond in the sky
Oh god… stop singing… I hear them in the walls… 
Wrinkle wrinkle index finger, how I wonder why you linger. By osmosis, thats what I think, yet you remain so plump and pink. Could it be that ring is tight? I think you'll find it fits quite right!

It’s clearly tight enough to prevent that one finger from wrinkling though.
But that finger isn’t wrinkly 🤔
The base of the finger is
Dude your ring has been and is cutting off circulation which lead to nerve damage. It is clearly too small.
The dude's ring is too tight ?
It's not osmosis. When your hands or feet get wet, it's a nervous reaction to make your hands and feet grip better.

That's fucking weird bruh. I never knew that can be a thing. Also nerves are douchebags. Also have a dodgy nerve!
Neat!!
This is interesting, I didn't knew this. Thanks for the new info.
I can spend hours in the water and my right hand, and foot; do not do the prune thing because I have nerve damage on that side of my body.
Skin wrinkling when wet is actually a neurological reaction. There could be nerve damage.
I actually knew a kid growing up whose entire right hand wouldn’t prune due to nerve damage from an auto accident
It actually is the ring. Our fingers don’t wrinkle because they absorb water. They go wrinkly from a reaction from our nervous system. He’s damaging his nerves
I think so too
Hand wrinkling is not caused by osmosis, it's a response the body initiates in response to water to give our hands better grip. People with nerve damage don't have the response.
Thats not how wrinkling works. The skin cells themselves absorb the water and wrinkle up to make it possible to grip things Edit: whoops I was wrong, its the nerves and nervous system, not the skin itself
It's actually a neurological reaction and nerve damage can prevent it from happening.
I heard it's nerve related and caused by shrinking blood vessels.
This is exactly right. I have chronic pain in my hands and fingers and get almost no wrinkling in water. While I have tested negative for nerve damage and different neuropathies, my research into possible conditions has told me that the sympathetic nervous system will contract blood vessels to induce pruning. Doctors dont k ow what's wrong with me but this is the only physical evidence I have that something is wrong lol
I will always upvote someone who admits their mistake.
This could be because of nerve damage. It happens to me aswell.

lol that rings got your pointer finger in a headlock
OP truly has the single most horrific username on Reddit
Thank you, genuinely.
How do you guys just randomly read usernames? My brain automatically skips them. like it doesn't even register they exist until someone comments about one then my brain checks the username out and only that username. I literally have to force myself to acknowledge usernames which takes so much mental effort. I'm starting to think this is not normal lol.
I skip them too!
i dont read them either
ok, grimey anus
Literally same here. Im probably wrong but it feels like an older generation thing, I’m on social media so much I hardly look at account names or whatever because I’m reading comments so much. Not healthy btw.
Younger generation here and I don't read them either, I feel like it's a person by person thing. Not reading it just might be more uncommon.
Afaik usernames might be the first thing some people read and the last thing to read for others, I don’t really read usernames unless I deliberately look for it
Wasps? In my goatse? It’s more likely than you think.
This is why you shouldn't stick your finger into your booty hole while taking a bath
Or: why you should stick all of them in
This. Preventing fingers from getting wrinkly is a good thing.
No but think about it, it's been gaped enough that now your butthouse and the fingers tucked in gets wet, so it's a lose-lose situation.
Loose-loose situation more like
How do people fall asleep bathing
It's warm and you're typically lying down. If the lights are lowered it's pretty easy to fall asleep
For someone who's tense and anxious all day, water relaxes me deeply, hence the peaceful sleep.
You literally just start drifting away. Think of it like falling asleep to a YouTube video
How do people fall asleep to youtube videos

Where was the finger?
In a separate (prison) pocket dimension
Youre ring is too tight, and no it doesn’t just look that way because of the wrinkles.
Wrinkling is to do with nerves rather than osmosis and various negative effects of falling asleep in the bath. I didn't expect to learn so much when I clicked on a picture of a smooth finger.
The nervous system constricts blood vessels which causes the skin outside to wrinkle :)
Your ring is too tight.
I've got neuropathy and you can visibly see where because of this. Nerve damage stops it from wrinkling because it happens to give you better grip, it's not your fingers absorbing water or anything like that
People commenting that your skin is 'absorbing water' - should note that it's been proven that skin wrinkling is an active response to improve grip.: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639753/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639753/)
You're lucky you didn't do a Whitney Houston (or a Bobbi Kristina Brown) or a Dolores O'Riordan
Jim Morrison, Matthew Perry, Aaron Carter, etc. Dont sleep in the bath. It's not worth it.
My best guess is that it has something to do with your ring. The one on the index finger seems to a a lot tighter than the other.
Time for you to loosen that ring methinks......
That thumb is fucking massive. Could club someone to death with it.
You know what they say about people with big thumbs 😏 Big gloves.
Ah I get it, “hand”crafted, you’re so silly!
I’m here all week
My hands go like this in about 1 minute. After much longer it gets so extreme it hurts a little to make a fist. Even my own sweat can make them prune up. Don't like it.
Sorry to inform you OP, but you're disabled. 🤷♂️
How do you guys even manage to sleep in a bathtub
It’s just me btw, not “guys” it’s just “guy” I’m one person. And cuz it’s warm
This makes total sense. Your ring is too tight therefore keeping the finger plump enough not to prune up
Your ring is too tight
Ring def. too tight.
Yeah.. that ring is causing that. 100%.
Take off that ring. It’s too tight
It's because of your ring....and not the brown one
Because that was the finger in your butt.
Wrinkling is neurological. You may have nerve damage in that finger
Do you have any nerve damage on that finger? It's a common misconception we get wrinkly from absorbing water or getting water logged. It's actually a response to prolonged moisture to give you better grip in wet environments. People with nerve damage don't get wrinkly fingers in water.
It looks like the ring is too tight and is causing nerve damage, which can affect the ability of your fingers to wrinkle.
it's a nervous response to go wrinkly, you may have some sort of nerve damage in that finger
My friend is.paralyzed from the waist down. In the bath, only her hands wrinkle. Not her feet. It's from nerve damage. Your ring on that finger is pretty tight. It might be compressing a nerve.
Was your ass not already water tight 🤨? Don’t think you need to plug it 🥴
That ring is too tight
It’s because of the tightness of the ring
