Who woulda thunk it?

You probably have sleep apnea

 

Good for you, did you use an alarm clock, or was it the whole sleep debt you had to repay that day?

Personally, I think whether or not I'm sleepy is a gray area, where I may or may not have two choices in the matter. What if there's nowhere safe to park, or how far away is it... what do you do in the meantime? If you can't come up with a way of totally snapping yourself out of midday drowsiness, immediately and without stopping, you may want to work on that. Most effective thing for me is having both windows down, heat off, and smacking my hands together as fast and hard as I can, for fractions of a second between steering and rubbing the sting off, until it clicks. This may take me a few seconds, or a few minutes until I'm good for a few hours. In that case I wasn't necessarily sleepy, like a "stop drop and roll" thing (I just had to set my hands on fire to get the adrenaline pumping). It's more of an emergency if you can't find a place to park and can't snap out of it (but then if you can, why find a place to park)...

Well, I wouldn't want to discourage you from nap time, except to advise trying to wake up on the way to the parking spot next time, to see if something else works for you, in case parkng isn't an option at some point, or the roadside is maybe more of a hazard than it's worth (seems like as many accidents occur surrounding the whole parking problem as the sleep situation).

 

Yeah, that doesn't at all sound like you were falling asleep at the wheel.
