Most people have arrived at this point in life. On a casual morning passing through the Starbucks drive-thru, a customer might feel a little sleepy as they still have not had their morning coffee.

Far from the wildest thing to happen in a Starbucks drive-thru, as Teslas have had batteries die in line and customers regularly attempt to order after hours, a customer was recently filmed falling asleep in the line.

In a video posted to TikTok by Sergio (@kingsergio7) that has drawn more than 1.5 million views as of Wednesday morning, a woman is caught sleeping while waiting in line before the TikToker wakes her up.

“When you’re at the Starbucks lane and fall asleep,” Sergio says in the video before making a loud noise to wake her.

According to a report, one in 25 drivers has fallen asleep at the wheel, causing hundreds of reported car crashes. Luckily, the woman’s car was not in motion when she dozed off.

The National Center for Health Research recommends drivers get seven to eight hours of sleep per night, and avoid taking any sleeping medication for 12 hours prior to getting behind the wheel to prevent drowsy driving.

“Yup, she definitely needed that coffee,” another joked.

“Hahahaha she REALLY needed that coffee,” a third commented.
