Ross snores through Rachel's fashion lecture; Chandler sleeps through Joey's big-screen moment. The official Friends channel found enough ill-timed shut-eye for a full compilation, and it was the most watched of six new uploads, reaching about 262,000 views.
"The Ones Where They Accidentally Fall Asleep | Friends" turns a simple theme into a tour of the gang's awkwardness. Ross tries to get through Rachel's famously lengthy reconciliation letter overnight, then pretends he understood it. Later, he and Joey discover that sharing a couch nap is considerably easier than discussing it afterward. David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc's pairing is a particular talking point in the comments, alongside requests for Chandler's meeting-room snooze to have made the cut.
Phoebe supplies the week's other substantial new scene: "Phoebe Can't Remember Why She's Mad at Ross | Friends," drawn from "The One with Joey's Big Break." It currently has the strongest daily viewing momentum of the channel's videos, while the short "Joey doesn't joke. #FRIENDS" is also moving briskly. Just outside this week's releases, "The Cozy Ones for Fall: Part 2 | Friends" continues to draw viewers.
Across the channel, weekly views reached roughly seven million, the largest weekly gain among the nearby-sized TV channels with comparable totals, including Yellowstone Universe and SHOWTIME. Daily viewing is well above its usual level, though the subscriber count finished the week unchanged. The new uploads closed with another familiar object capable of causing enormous trouble: Ross's red sweater.

What viewers say
The Nap Partners plot may have been silly, but it gave us hilarious lines from both Ross and Joey, and was definitely a highlight of Season 7. They didn't have as many plots together as Joey had with Chandler, but David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc played off brilliantly together.
@trinaqSee it on YouTubeI immediately thought of "YOU FELL ASLEEP?!" in Rachel's voice, and of Chandler falling asleep during Joey's film premiere.😅
@trinaqSee it on YouTubeFabulous choice of compilation theme 👏The only thing lacking is Chandler falling asleep at the meeting 😂
