I am surprised that this didn't end up as a RAIB investigation:
TfL response to FOI request, November 2022
Evening Standard article today:The driver fell asleep between Ruislip and Ickenham, failing to initiate the brakes in time to bring the Tube to a stop. This resulted in the train overrunning the platform at Ickenham station and going through a red signal without permission.
Tube driver overran platform by 50m after falling asleep at controls

The correct operational procedures were implemented following the incident and welfare checks undertaken with the train operator who was relieved from duty whilst further fact finding was undertaken. There was a delay associated with the incident but no injury or damage occurred as a result.
In accordance with our obligations under Data Protection legislation, information on what action was taken against the driver has been withheld as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act.
