I've dozed off many times as I'm often playing while fatigued (fibromyalgia). Doesn't happen as frequently as used to happen though. Oddly, if I try to change the GUI to Blue or another cool color, I tend to doze off easier. So I've stuck with the default orange to keep myself awake. But I digress...
What's really embarrassing is when you keep dozing off while approaching a station in supercruise: .5 Ls, .2 LS, 23 mm, 22 mm, snooze... overshot target and now 5-10 ls away. Swing around, try again, doze off just before getting there again. I once ended up having to make 6 passes to get to a station... and then I got interdicted on the last one, when I stayed awake. Figures.
Other time I tend to doze off is during long, or slow, in system flights - looking for HGE's to pop, traveling between planets, etc. That can lead to equally embarrassing situations.
Still, not as bad as when I played Star Trek Online. I would keep dozing off during combat in that game - and still come out fine! lol

And thus did Commander Indigowyrd coin the term super-snoozing and lo did the people spew various drinks from their mouths to the detriment of many a screen. Their mouths now free of troublesome fluid in near unison spaketh unto the new term, proclaiming it dope. So let it be written, so let it be done. +1 forever and ever, amen.
if we only had something like errrrmmm... auto pilot?
I had visitors over and left my ship fuel scooping for 24 hours. Does this count. No ? Okay
I fall asleep a lot while playing. Especially in SC on long flights. I haven't ever gone too far past my stopping point. I have wondered how long it would take to reach another star system in SC. I mean you keep accelerating until you need to slow down so it's possible.
I have fallen asleep while launching from the station before. That cost me a rebuy.

Apparently, this happens frequently enough that it's in the Fuel Rats' Standard Operating Procedures:
Fell asleep on the way to Hutton Orbital once. Woke up 5k ls out.
Which technically the ships have because they can take off and land on planets without you in it.
First, +1 rep to you and Indigo for that. [Edit - Indigo, it won't let me again, so +1 virtual rep]
Second, [raises hand] Yeah, been there done that.
Third, doing it in VR? Hell yes. Usually late at night doing a long-[pair of buttocks] run, (Hutton or similar), with some ambient music playing in the background. Veeeery trippy waking up from super-snooze with the goggles on. And very awesome, somehow. [big grin]
Edit to avoid niceness filter. Edit again for rep lameness filter.
