They should have been driving with a glass of very cold ice water. Every time they get sleepy pour some over their face and head
That shit is real. Especially truck drivers and when I did prisoner extradition. We was hallucinating and everything
It’s understandable, but thank God no one was hurt.

It happens especially when you're driving over the same roads over and over again.
Highway driving will do it too,that long road,there's no more conversation going on,the radios music sounds the same and you're pushing it trying to make it home.....everyone isn't built for that shit,I ain't,I'll take a pit stop just to see if they have different food items.

Long roads create a hypnotizing effect.

Years ago, I had driver's fatigue crossing the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge from Staten Island to Brooklyn, upper deck at 2am. All I remember was going pass the toll area and then seeing the Brooklyn southern coastline before the car came back down on the bridge roadway. Fucked up the side and tires on my Olds '98 but at least I'm here to tell the story.
That's what you're going to call it?
Always keeping the driver side window open a bit to keep myself connected with road sounds and airflow.
I can’t drive the amount of miles none stop anymore at this stage in life. Having to stop and charge the battery helps for us old farts.
Shidddddd, I call it the SLEEP MONSTER and when that thing get a hold of you nothing not window down, music up, singing out loud, waving hand out the window will get it off you..lol....a few years ago coming home from work late at night it got a hold of me, soon as I ran off the road I snapped back but had hit a curb and bust my tire.
Yeah, sometimes smelling salt is actually smelling salt, no code name or a.k.a.'s to it, but yeah that shit will wake your ass up!
That company looked at her as a liability.. 5 figs in damage they got to come out of their pocket for repairs.. they in the bizz of making money not losing money.. they thinking let’s take this 5 fig l now and cut her off cause next time she might hit a human or have passengers on board we really will have to pay out our ass on multiple lawsuits. This is how bizz thinks
Happened to me one time working so much overtime coming home. Closed my eyes for a second and drifted off into oncoming traffic. Quickly woke up and got back in my lane. Scariest shit in my life!!! Never a fuckin gain!!!! 
Still working mad ot but if I feel a bit tired I roll the window down. Helps like a muthafucka.

You got lucky. I noticed when I got over 35 years old. If I didn’t get a good amount of sleep, I start does not driving what I was going back-and-forth between Florida. One day I had a rude, awakening and I decided to stop playing games and get good night sleep, and if I get sleepy, pull over into a safe place and take a nap.
I’m glad you are OK it sounds like you needed some snow white and seven Red BullsHappened to me one time working so much overtime coming home.

That's how I thought of my screen name. Growing up I use to hear people say Sleep or Z Monster all the time.
Maaaan if that mufukka had hit somebody..... or a house / car with somebody in it they would be in jail
I woke up on i20 headed downtown 1 night..... I was on 86 south around Alpharetta..... don't know how I got there.
Shit happened to me, a few years ago. Tried to be Superman. And work two jobs with three hours of sleep. I was good driving to the second job. But that on my way home. I was like this 
driving on the highway.
Until one day I scraped the side of my car on a railing. Was lucky as fuck too. I woke up just in time to turn the wheel.
