There is no difference between the two scenarios. Note I am arguing what should be the consequence rather than what the law states.
New Jersey and Arizona have fatigued driving statues that are similar to DUIs.

If someone is suffering from insomnia or has ran into a grief situation where they don't sleep well and crash, they'll be on the hook for what they've done and I am not aware of any situation they'd be given a DUI on top of everything.
If the dude was sleeping because he had something and was sleeping it off (booze etc.), tack on the DUI. But if he was just sleeping, while I agree it's stupid, he shouldn't be ticketed for anything other than what he was doing. (ie: Speeding, reckless driving, possibly stunting etc.).
