Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Falling asleep at stoplights while driving can be dangerous and could indicate narcolepsy, which requires further medical evaluation. Falling asleep quickly at night, having difficulty staying alert at social gatherings, and feeling sleepiness after lunch are all common occurrences for many people, and may not necessarily indicate a condition requiring medical attention.
