Watch out subway sleepers, while you're catching some z's, you are also being watched, photographed and blogged about. Asleep on the Subway has been gathering images of tired straphangers, and has started to get contributions as well, leaving no subway line safe to sleep on!

People have no ethics anymore. I hope someone catches this person taking a picture and smashes their camera.
I hope this was meant to be a brilliant ironic comment...
Word. ^
I have to check to see if I'm on that site.
The worse case of sleeping I saw on the subway was a woman who was so soundly asleep that she would go from upright to a 45 degree angle to the seat depending on the motion of the train.
I'm so fucked.
That was my first thought! (About you, not me.)
Weird and invasive.
Hey, if this spooks people into not sleeping on the train, I think it's a good idea. How many times have you woken up and suddenly found yourself at the Coney Island stop?!?
what the hell is wrong with sleeping on the subway? New york is a stressful place to live and everybody needs a few extra minutes of rest. I don't need to be 'spooked' into not sleeping on the subway by some asshole who thinks taking a picture of me is good for a laugh. I am lucky enough to live near the terminus of the A train, and i'd say I sleep during my morning commute to brooklyn about 80-90% of the time. It has preserved my sanity and provided me with some critical rest especially if i went out the night before.
and any idiot can avoid missing their stop-conservatively estimate the time until your stop, set the alarm on your cell phone, and put it in your pocket on vibrate.
and yes, i'd be tempted to smash somebody's camera if i saw them taking a picture of me.
wtf, who does that!?
There's something really lame about people taking bad photos of fellow subway riders while they're semi-conscious and then posting them on the internet with snarky comments.
How about when they take their shoes off and put their sock-clad feet on the subway bench?

If those feet aren't stinky, that's ok.
It's better than those who clip their nails while riding. Now that's a real issue that merits a website of its own.
i am so with you on the nail-clipping.
There is a big difference between people who are being rude and sleeping on the subway on purpose and taking up too many seats and those who nod off in the course of their commute.
These photos say more about the poor character of the photographer than it does about our fellow straphangers.
No upskirts, no story.
Privacy is dead.
Catching subway pervs with cameras is fine, but not snapping people catching 40 winks.

We lose Travis Ruse's "Express Train" photolog and get this instead? The end of the world is near.
This is creepy.
This is why I sleep with my Hoodie on.
I was on a stalled train the other day. Quiet as a church in there. Except for sleeping guy next to me snoring up a storm w. the whole train staring and laughing at him.
Sorry about that..
:/
the best is when they match AND sleep together on the train.

uncool stuff
i'd love to know if this dude would have the courtesy to wake someone up at the end of the line?
happens all the time on the 1 for me. at 238th, if you're not already awake and ready to get off, chances are you're headed back south.
I live at the end of the A line (207th st) and people are always sleeping past their stops. One time this guy wakes up and is like "Are we at 14th Street?"
this dude has no friends
I blame the lack of sleeper cars in the subway. A dining car would be nice as well.
i'm not saying i've been arrested by the nypd and jailed for sleeping on a subway train, i'm just saying that those are the kinds of stories i won't confirm on the world wide web.
I am amazed anyone can sleep on the subway. Sleeping people used to get their pockets slashed and wallets removed-now they have bloggers uploading digital picture and snickering about them... Yawn
yeah, I don't recall ever sleeping on the train. then again, unlike many guys, I give my seat often to others who seems to need to sit more than I do.
In fact, this did happen to me. I woke up and my jeans almost fell off.
That's not what she reported.
shutting one's eyes is a time honored subway tradition.
it's the only way to avoid confrontations.
Absolutely.
its no fun without video

I've been sleeping on the subway since I was 13 and had to get up at 6am to get to school from the Junction all the way to the upper east side. Why someone would want to photograph and snark on it, I have no idea, but I agree with the others who say its rude and somewhat invasive. I'm sure if this were just "women sleeping on the subway", people would be up in arms.
"Haha, look he's sleeping! What a dork!"
Lame.
what's next? sleep assault on the subway?
sleeping after a long day at work is not a big deal but my pictures are of girls sleeping on empty cars late at night.
they serve as reminders that they should not have been sleeping in that situation & are lucky nothing happened to them.
Of course you did that as a "public service"!
I think the first comment is the best
And I hope it isnt some ironic bs
This dude should be put in his place
He has no right no matter how fun he thinks it is and innocent he thinks he is
He's a subway peeping tom and should be arrested
my stepfather took a picture of my mom like that on a car trip one time - they lasted about another year after that.
I do not think this is, or should be, illegal.
However, it pisses me off. Hey, dummy – people are sleeping on the train because they are TIRED, whether from working, going to school, taking care of families, or all of the above. Why is it funny to you that people take the chance to close their eyes and rest when they can?
Also, those two dudes in the first pic on the site are SO not thugs.
Even though this is fucked up is it just me or is anyone else imagining these people giving air blowjobs?
Wanna see some REAL snoring?; take pics of a Senate or Congressional session.
"Even though this is fucked up is it just me or is anyone else imagining these people giving air blowjobs?"
Uh, that would be JUST YOU, plus a few other pervs currently housed in the Sex Crimes section of Rikers.
wow. that's a stretch. going from air blowjobs to rikers. What's next? not thinking churning butter doesn't look like masturbation?
This site is MUCH more entertaining:

oh no... i bet ill find myself on this
there's just no privacy left in this world. nowadays everyone thinks they are paparazzi or something.
i'm as annoyed as the next person whenever someone starts falling all over me or letting their bad breath around me, but this is going a bit too far.
"...but this is going a bit too far."
ah... those immortal words.
Silly site, pointless -- otherwise I would submit my own photos of some FUNNY sleepers. Too many blogs. If you're bored, start anything but a blog!
Public place, no reasonable expectation of privacy. Don't bother bitching.
You are in a public space, so deal. If you do not want you photo taken stay home. My god, people it is a photo, and will not steal your soul.
As someone who "steals souls" on a daily basis, I think I'll be contributing many photos to this site.
