What are some reasons for my falling asleep while driving on the highway?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few things: Insufficient sleep syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, medications, etc. If you're doing this you shouldn't be driving and you need a sleep study/sleep specialist.
