Needs to be fixed: This is a big deal and it needs to be fixed. No one should drive if they are falling asleep like that. Obstructive sleep apnea, insufficient sleep syndrome, shift work sleep disorder, narcolepsy, and idiopathic hypersomnia on the are all possibilities. The individual needs to see a sleep specialist as soon as possible.
