Best Answer

When you stand for a long time, it may cause your knees to buckle resulting in a vaso-vagal reaction. When this happens, there is a decrease in blood pressure which can make a person collapse or faint.

Is slate flooring uncomfortable for standing long periods?

Any hard surface will cause you to tire if you stand upon it for a long period of time. Concrete is the most common problem as this is usually found in industrial settings where workers have to stand for long periods. Slate would have the same effect, but is not very commonly used in such settings.
