Machinbird: Good point!
There is interesting discussion going on:

http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/4...pa-survey.html
“The MPs heard that 43% of pilots said they had fallen asleep in the cockpit, based on a survey of 500 members of the British Airline Pilots' Association (BAPA).”


I have a good friend and colleague (744 driver for 15 years) who admitted that he fell asleep many times, the funniest one: during flare! He was lucky that F/O pulled the control column.
I was in similar situation many times also, especially after landing at CDG or Narita 34R.
I only wanted to pull the parking brake in the middle of my taxi route and have a nap.
