Thabo’s attempt to get a full night’s sleep took an unexpected turn after he took two sleeping tablets instead of following his prescribed dose. The effects followed him into the studio, where he struggled to stay awake, stumbled and eventually had to be convinced by the team and 5FM listeners to leave his car behind and get a lift home. A funny on-air moment with a serious reminder about medication and road safety.

After taking more sleeping medication than prescribed, Thabo arrived at the studio struggling to stay alert. The team and listeners had one important mission: convince him not to drive home.
