Learning to ski can be exciting and fun, but it can also take a lot out of you. Young Bode knows all too well how physically exhausting a day on the slopes can be, as he fell asleep standing up in his skis after a rough day on the mountain.

You may think that it would be difficult or darn near impossible to fall asleep while skiing. But that may be because you don't value the importance of a good nap quite as much as this little boy. Bode knows that you have to catch your Z's whenever you get the chance, even if that means you have to do it while standing up. Fortunately for us, Bode's parents felt that videotaping his power nap was more important than making sure he didn't fall down.

If you're going to fall asleep standing up, what better time is there than when you're equipped with a crash helmet, ski suit and a snowy cushion to fall back on? There are definitely way worse occasions to take a cat nap. Bode could've fallen asleep on live television like presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. Now that is an awkward time to hit the hay.
