If someone is snoring loudly, I tap them gently to wake them up and then whisper "You're snoring". They're usually grateful. If someone's just asleep, obviously I just leave them, unless they're falling asleep on my shoulder. Our bodies have evolved to interpret sitting still in a darkish room as a cue for sleep and given so many people are chronically sleep deprived, it's not suprising to see people nodding off, even at a good play. If I'm tired I will sometimes find myself dozing off for five minutes in the first act and, like AlanScott, it even happened once when I was in the front row! It is almost always at straight plays. I think the lighting at musicals is stronger plus there's more stimulus on stage.
