Pranks to Play on Sleeping People

• Falling asleep leaves you open to pranks if your friends are feeling mischievous. woman sleeping image by forca from Fotolia.com

  A sleeping friend or family member provides ample opportunity to pull off a funny, memorable prank that everyone can laugh at later. There are countless funny pranks you can do on someone who is sleeping, but some of the best include shaving cream, using makeup and changing the time on house clocks. When planning your next prank think outside the box, be creative and find inspiration from regular household items.

Rude Awakening

• While your friend or family member is asleep, adjust all the clocks in the house. Set the clocks ahead two hours. When the alarm goes off, they will actually be awaking up two hours early. They might not even realize the time difference until they either look outside or get in their car for work...unless you change the clock in their vehicle, too.

Shaving Cream Mustache

• If you don't mind waking a person from their sleep, then applying shaving cream above their lip can do the trick. It may not instantly wake a person from slumber, but it will generally get them to touch their face. When they do this, they may smear the shaving cream trying to wipe it off. Additionally, you can dab a bit of shaving cream on their chin or cheeks.

Funny Makeover

• You can give your friend or relative a funny makeover if you have woman's makeup or additional cosmetics in the house. You can be creative and give them a clown face. You can apply makeup in a traditional way, but make it look incredibly terrible. The funnier it looks the better. Make sure you snap a picture after the makeover is complete, that way you can remind them about the prank later on.

Wet Toilet Paper Burial

• Toilet paper is generally a readily available household item. Damp the toilet paper under a running faucet, then cover your friend all over. The more area that you cover on their body or clothes, the funnier it will be. You may want to leave their head and face uncovered, so you don't wake them. Again, if you use this prank, take a photograph to recall the memories.

Write Funny Words

• When your friend is sleeping, take the opportunity to write funny words and phrases on his skin. Use a permanent marker if you are feeling bold, though any felt-tip marker should work. Use multiple colors if possible and go wild with your marker-to-skin adventure.
