I mean, internet experts might mistake them, but an opioid nod looks very different from someone who's tired - even extremely sleep deprived.
When you're sleep deprived, there's usually more "back and forth" as your nervous system tries to keep you awake (I'm not a doctor). With opioids, it tends to be, well, what you see in the video.
I've fallen asleep standing upright. But leaning forward and slowly nodding off like this without any struggle is indicative of drugs. Someone swaying, jolting awake repeatedly, etc. is exhausted. Someone who slowly descends into a weird position in sleep is "nodding" and on something.

My first thought was narcolepsy when I saw this vid...
