Hey, you should interview at a mattress shop! You could go around saying "this mattress is so comfy, I could just-" and then pass out dramatically! I see a real future here.

I really hope they understand what happened, I'm sorry OP

After you fell asleep, at least you were calm. So you can put "Calm under pressure" as one of your strengths. A little TOO calm.

Wait, you passed out in the interview room?

No. You see, what had happened was, OP was on a Safari with Nigel Thornberry in the African plains, when a lion leapt out of the tall grass and offered them some tea in the drawing room of his mansion, and the pair gratefully accepted. As the trio enjoyed Earl Grey with lemon, Tommy Pickles and his band of misfits were plotting a mischievous scheme. They escaped their prison and snuck into the lion's mansion through the cellar, which had a terribly rusted lock. You see, the gardener hadn't used it in quite some time. They simply broke off the lock and snuck inside. From the cellar they crawled into the air ducts and made their way towards the drawing room, where they intended to leap out of the vent, take the lion by surprise, tie him up and kidnap him. Little did Tommy know, though, that there was a rat in their midst. Chucky was an FBI informant, and wearing a wire. And so just as Tommy and his crew leapt out of the vent, the police burst into the drawing room. OP was so taken by surprise that he fainted in shock. What? You didn't get that from the FML? It was pretty clear.

Passed out? That's a little crazy.

Oh well OP! Keep trying, you'll eventually get a job. Just try to make it seem like a normal conversation and be confident. Confidence is key.

Don't kick yourself over it, you went through it and that's what counts. Interviews are HARD, if they weren't we would all have jobs and be yippy skippy. You'll kill it next time!

I only hope you weren't interviewing to be a pilot. Or any other job that requires you to function under pressure for that matter. Like being Miley Cyrus's father for instance

I kind of agree. If anyone is that much under pressure at an interview, it might be an idea to look for something else.

Ah. So I see we have another Miley fan. Kudos to you for not finding something or someone new to talk about by now.

It's ok you'll get back on your feet

The next interview should go well! Don't worry OP!

Could be a useful skill if you are an actor.

Tell them that this was the job of your dreams. They'll understand, you only fell asleep to skip to the part where you were already hired.
