The most common reason to fall asleep while driving is that you are sleep deprived or on medication which causes you to fall asleep. You should not drive if you fall asleep while doing so, as it is highly dangerous for you as well as other drivers. If you are receiving enough sleep and are not on any medication, you should discuss your problem with your doctor. You may have a very serious medical condition such as narcolepsy.
