I hate to remember the night that I kept nodding off while sitting in the front row at a play starring two extremely famous and extraordinarily respected actors. I was just very tired, and back then I never drank coffee. And that first row was very near the stage. I kept nodding off and then trying to force myself awake and then nodding off again.

Fortunately, I was quite awake during the second (probably thanks to my dozing in the first act). I wonder if they were appalled to see me still there when the lights went up for act two.

Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

Even if I had thought to myself during the first act, "I need to get out of here rather than keep nodding off," it would have been worse to get up when I was sitting dead center in the first row. ;)
