Memphis TV Anchor’s On-Air Nap Sparks Conversation About Working Moms

A Memphis Fox 13 morning anchor, Dominique Dillon, briefly dozed off during a live Good Morning Memphis segment after staying up late to care for two young children; producers initially thought she was simply looking down at a tablet. The moment went viral, drawing mixed reactions, but Fox 13 defended it as a relatable 'power nap' and spotlighted the challenges faced by working mothers returning to work. Dillon, who returned from maternity leave in April, said she appreciates the support and noted her early wake time for a 4:30–5 a.m. shift.
