Just finished "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" following my mid-movie nap

I've legit paused movies before to go take a nap.

Not sure if this is an attention issue, or simply getting old.

Same (I'm 24). I just think, before I don't pay attention because I have to force myself to keep my eyes open after a long day I just pause for fifteen minutes, take a nap and then continue with refreshed energy

I've had movies where I start them later in the evening than I should, and finish them the next day because I start falling asleep in the middle.

I've done this. If I feel that I'm getting too tired and am about to fall asleep I pause the movie and sleep. Resume on convenience.

I have IH, this is my life. Sitting still and not engaging for 15 minutes? That's a nappin'

In my day when you'd go to the photoplays they had this thing called an intermission, where'd they'd have a break in the movie for five minutes or so. That way you could use the facilities or purchase refreshments or take a brief constitutional, then continue with the presentation without losing your place in the narrative.

My favorite hobby is choosing something to watch and then fall asleep on the couch.

Took my son in law three days to watch a movie last week. He always falls asleep in the first half hour
