Why do you care if they sleep? If they aren't snoring or drooling on someone, go on with the rest of the people that are there. Why draw attention to it? You think that somehow embarrassing them is going to meet some goal other than your own self satisfaction that you showed someone up? Perhaps YOU really are putting them to sleep; if talking louder or changing the prosody of your speech wakes them up, perhaps you are a monotone. People in this world are too damn sensitive to rudeness, get over it. Oh and no, I am not a student, I am a college professor and I see a student here or there pass out on occasion. Many of them work full-time jobs and are trying to get an education (no, they aren't entitled to special treatment, but I CAN ignore the occasional dozing off) to better their situation (i.e., getting off of the graveyard shifts that help them to fall asleep). So yes, let sleeping dogs lie and be a human about it; you don't know WHY they are falling asleep, so stop making the classic fundamental attribution error.
