Just for the heck of it I will mention that sitting in your parked car with your keys in your pocket while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is called CARE AND CONTROL and you can be charged with DUI regardless. Thats a fact.
 
OTOH if I'm sober and falling asleep at the wheel and I need to pull over immediately else I will drive into a bridge abuttment, I would be breaking the law? Question for you Marmot.

Noel thats a rhetorical question.  Of course you should pull over....just like if your friend was bleeding to death in the back seat and you had to make it to a hospital, you wouldn't do the speed limit.  I only said there were laws that prevented it.....not that you should follow them 

Lots of time laws don't make sense.....but in this case I think it does, don't you?  If you do pull over on a highway or major artery you're endangering others that use the roadway.  Remember, the sides of the roads are used for accident avoidance and emergency vehicles too....

The original question was if there were laws, and anyone with a license should be aware that there are.

I don't think the police can hand out enough tickets to those lawbreakers snoozing in their cars. Some of the best work they can do for sure. Nothing else going on in the middle of the night.

Sleep where you want and when you want.
F$%# the idiotic laws and just make sure you are safe and out of the way of major traffic.
