It's a 10pm-6am shift for crying out loud. People who work at 7/11 have longer night shifts than that. How on earth do you fall asleep on the job unless you never got enough sleep in the day? He knew the shift he had and never got enough sleep obviously. Totally his fault and I can't believe this is even a discussion.

Is what a joke? Is there a cure for falling asleep? I clearly stated that if he did not prepare for his shift, than it is clearly his fault. Otherwise, what can you do? If he has a medical condition that has to be dealt with. Trust me, there are assorted reasons people fall asleep for medical reasons.
