This happened to me as of recently, and I honestly think it could happen to Reid just as easy, if not easier!
A Good Man- Exhaustion
Spencer Reid was exhausted, and even then the statement was being generous. His head was pounding, his hands shaking, his mind broken and frazzled. Sighing deeply as he locked the jet bathroom shut, he let his body slump to the floor and groaned deeply. He closed his eyes, and before he knew it, he had fallen to sleep….
About thirty minutes later, Reid was startled awake with a jolt. The banging on the door seemed louder by the second, and Reid's head couldn't take the assault on it any longer. "Damn it, stop knocking!" he hissed without thinking. He regretted it immediately, though, and he knew he would have repercussions to pay for that one.
"Reid, open the door!" Hotch shouted. Instantaneously, on his knees, Reid fumbled for the lock and somehow managed to get it unlocked. Hotch opened the door, kneeling down next to Reid once he realized that he was on the floor. "What's going on with you?" he asked, concerned.
Reid had already fallen to sleep again, though, and Hotch started shaking him awake again. Reid's eyes slowly fluttered opened, and he seemed confused at first. Then, as he looked around, realization seemed to have dawned. 'Oh, right,' he sighed, 'I passed out in the bathroom.'
"Reid, Reid?" Hotch watched as his agent came to and fro, and finally, those large brown eyes came back into focus. "Maybe you should sit this case out…."
"No, no! I'm just….tired," Reid sighed. Hotch shook his head though, obviously not in the mood to hear his weak excuses.
"Reid, you need to sleep," Hotch said sternly. He suddenly wrapped his strong arms- gently, of course- around Reid's tiny waist and propped him to his feet. The boy almost collapsed, but by the time he did actually do so, Hotch had him resting on a body-length seat and already more than half-asleep. Hotch stood over his vulnerable and exhausted agent, watching as his eyes filled with sadness and insecurity. Sighing, Hotch dropped to his knees to talk to him.
"What you're doing is unhealthy; you need to sleep Reid, okay?" Hotch started. "Just…just promise me you'll at least try to sleep, and if you're up in an hour or two still, I'll leave you alone," Hotch promised. His promise was pointless, though, because Reid was already sleeping. Sighing, Hotch turned and sat back down in his seat.

I will probably play more with Reid being 'exhausted' with Gideon later. Not now, though. I'm exhausted. *Smirks. Pun sadly intended….
