A news anchor's brief on-air nap has become a viral sensation after a recent morning broadcast. Dominique Dillon, an anchor for FOX13 Memphis, was observed resting her chin in her hands with her eyes closed when the camera cut back to the studio.
The unexpected moment occurred as reporter Sheila O'Connor concluded her segment. The clip, shared on Instagram, shows Dillon appearing to snooze as the camera lingered before transitioning to a commercial break. The incident sparked discussion online, with viewers offering support and attributing the lapse to demanding morning schedules.
Online reactions highlighted the difficulty of early morning news shifts, with many suggesting the production crew should have provided a warning. Dillon, who is from California, later humorously acknowledged the gaffe on Facebook by reposting a co-anchor's selfie with her pretending to sleep. This incident follows Dillon's recent experience of giving birth to her second child in under two years, providing context for her apparent fatigue.
