Blame it on you allergies, say you got some new medicine.
Ah, I know the feeling. It washed over me yesterday while in a post lunch meeting. I had to swing my head back and forth looking at who was talking to ensure that it just didn't drop and I would go to sleep. I don't think anyone noticed though.
I guess it's better than having necrophilia and say working in a morgue. That ain't right.
I regularly sleep from about 1:30 - 3:00pm at work. Advantage to working alone.

I've taken naps in my work truck before. It's though getting up at 3am and then hiking around in the hot AZ for 6 or 7 straight hours. Just off into the some shade, roll down the windows and snooooooze.
When I was an intern I had a boss that must've had narcolepsy. I would be in his cube asking him a question and he would just nod off in the middle of the response. A minute later he would open his eyes and continue where he left off.
Freaked me out the first time. I never said anything...I just stood there for a while. I have no idea if he knew that he did this.
On the flip side...I've gone and found conference rooms on empty floors in our building, laid down on the floor and taken a nap.

I worked with a guy recently who had like "level 3" (the worst kind supposedly) Tourette's............man he said some crazy stuff here at work.MMike said:
He would just scream out phrases like (mind you this is in an engineering cube farm office environment): "WHOA LOOK AT THAT P***Y!!!!!!!!!!!"
It was really hard not to just hit the floor laughing when he did stuff like that.
My graduate adviser was like that. You'd ask him a question and he'd go start to answer it and then he'd nod out mid-sentence. You'd have to poke him to get him to wake back up and then he'd finish his thought like nothing had happened. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea (sp?) so he wasn't getting good sleep at home. He had a surgery for it. Fixed him right up.druber said:

I had a neighbor who came down with narcolepsy at the age of 21. He lived a normal life until 21, and then one week, went to take a power nap and woke up 5 days later. Thankfully he was on meds, or else he'd have to resort to speed in order to live a somewhat normal life.
