This could go in several sections of the forum, but it seems most appropriate here...
From the latest "Popbitch".
"The Sun's coverage of Andrew Bailey this week went very heavy on the sleepy metaphors; a little joke about the rumours that the Governor of the Bank of England has a habit of drifting off to sleep in meetings.
For what it's worth, a Popbitch reader who was up for a job at the Bank of England has firsthand experience of it. Not only did Bailey doze off during their interview, he began snoring too.
The two other members of staff continued with the interview as if nothing had happened, skipping over any section where Andrew would have been expected to ask a question. Then, when he did wake up, they simply pointed to the part they'd reached on the candidate's application and he picked things up from there.
This sort of thing happened with enough regularity at Bailey's old job at the FCA it earned him the nickname: "Rock-a-bye Bailey"."

So the often used description of "asleep at the wheel" is very apt....
