Has anyone else ever had them ? your knackered had a hard day yours eyes are heavy so you pull in the next free layby and just slump in the seat leaving engine running , just having a few minutes you drop off …then BANG! someones parked in front of you ,you stamp on the brakes clutching the steering wheel …bleedin hell you realise your not still driving … its horrible ive done it a few times… 
years ago I worked with a bloke who would regularly fall asleep at the drop of a hat, I would park about 10 feet away put all my lights on and lean on the horn he would jump up realize who it was and go beserk.
I can remember about 15 years ago I was working at Firmins and I’d arranged to meet a driver in a layby on the A1 near Wetherby one afternoon.
I pulled in behind him and wandered up to see him a kip with his head on the wheel.
I carefully climbed on to the front of the lorry and then just rocked it hard and head butted the windscreen.
He kept up grabbed the steering wheel to steer it out the way.
I was wetting myself and I think a week later he saw the funny side of it 
Booked in when??:

I did it many years ago on a night trunk to ford at Dagenham did a trailer change then thought I will have 10 mins before heading back to Birmingham next thing I thought I was on the m1 at Northampton and everything had stopped except me,I remember my legs turning to jelly I did think I was going to die until I realised where I was funny now but crazy at the time
Couple of my mates use to run day and night in vans (24hours on, couple off) and would regularly wake up from there rest period and slam the brakes on etc thinking they were still driving.
Couple of years back on a red hot day i’d pulled into a layby ont a14, stripped down to me undies and hopped ont bunk. Flat out blowin zzzzz’s until someone started knockin ont door, woke up all dazed an confused jumped in the drivers seat threw door open to a little old lady wanting to know if she was heading the right way for newark. I bet she got the shock of her life poor old lass
Once did a double drive, mate was asleep while I was driving going to Norfolk, mirrors checked, road clear so I dabbbed the brakes, screamed and beeped the horn, he woke up startled and threw his arms out in front as if to stop himself flying forward.
Also I was once in a Sprinter and got my head down in a lay-by across the seats, I woke up after about 15 minutes and thought ‘■■■■, I’m late for work’ which took around 30 seconds to sink in where I was!
I can shut my eyes and nod off at the drop of a hat and have woke up and stamped on the pedal after a power nap. Done it at home too jumped up of the sofa and started taking the blinds on the windows down.

There some ■■■■■■ up people on here!
A mate of mine was riding his motorbike to Scotland late at night. The guy on the pillion fell asleep, he woke up and crapped himself thinking they were crashing into a truck, because my mate was following a truck that was being recovered & suspended towed backwards .
lol done it and got the T-shirt
heard so many drivers over the years laughing about it
Once nodded off on a bay at nft Alfreton,when the yard man opened the door to take the mileage.
I woke up with a start,and made a lunge for him.
"steady now,lad"was his reply
This reminded me of this video. The guys face is classic.
Done that so many times.
Even more frightening is the thought that, many, many years ago, when I was a green newbie lorry driver, I had similar experiences when actually driving. I was sometimes so tired that I would have halucinations in the dark, early hours of the morning. One such event happened when heading North up the M6 at around 4 o’clock. I suddenly became aware of a wide load, taking up all three lanes, moving at walking pace about 50 yards in front of me. I piled on the brakes, had a minor heart attack, then realised that there was nothing at all in front of me as far as the eye could see. I continued my journey wide awake!
done this in cars,vans pull up along side, better if you can get drivers side against drivers side, just sit there and normally sound of the engine stirs the sleeping driver,just as they are waking up start moving your vehicle very slowly, the look on the sleepy drivers face whilst he is slamming everything on the brake pedal is normally priceless…
(only done to guys i know and taken in the fun as meant)
I get frightmares just waking up beside the wife
Multiple times
The most spectacular one being on the Calais-Dover on the way home from a “busy” week down to Spain. Pulled on the ferry at Calais tilted the wheel up (4 series Scanny), got woke up by the bump as we docked to see my mates, who I’d been following from Paris, back doors 18 inches away [zb] myself, stamped on the brake and clutch pedals so hard I shot out of my seat smashing my knees on the wheel then my head on either the console or maybe top bunk 
At which point my feet went off the sides of the pedals
Result 1 badly twisted right foot wedged between pedals, left ankle bruised and cut open, sore head and a perfect imprint of Scania on me forehead from the hours kip resting on it 
Woke me up well enough to get off and run straight up to Cheshire though
Was once running up the M11 years ago and started with the noddies, pulled off at Duxford, parked behind the Citreon garage and fell asleep almost before the handbrake was on. Car transporter rolled and started unloading, I woke up as the last car was coming off the top deck, crapped myself as I thought I was still on the motorway and was facing a car that had jumped the barrier.
Another one while driving a spare motor one day, regular driver had a stick on notepad in the corner of the screen, my half closed eyes spotted it and suddenly told my brain the round sucker bit was a motorbike helmet, scared me stupid but the adrenalin kept me going for an hour or two after the end of the shift.
