I hope this pilot has learned a great lesson, gets his rest, and gets another chance. The best learning is to do it wrong and live to see the consequences. I'll admit I fell asleep in a cockpit many decades ago. It was my night job after working a full plus day job. Just me and a bunch of cancelled checks in a warm cockpit on a cold night with the engines giving a steady hum. I woke up with my destination below me and made up a believable, to me anyway, story for my radio silence. It has never happened again.
