You can usually smell the difference. Also, I did once have to deal with a camper who slept this soundly.
I resorted to kicking their leg until they got up (I suspect they were awake for longer, but were pretending to still be asleep, hoping I’d give up and leave them alone)
Her mistake was the musical selection. It’s much too gentle. I mean, it was in the Shrek soundtrack, so he might be dreaming that’s what’s playing in the film room.
Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” works quite well in this situation. So does “Fire” by Arthur Brown.
I’ve unintentionally fell asleep in the anime room.
..while I was the volunteer watching it. The midnight-4am ‘Hentai shift’. I made it to about 1am.
Folks poked me awake when it was time to switch out Laserdiscs; I did, then promptly passed out again. Luckily, it was a verrrry laid-back con. And anyone awake to see Henta at 3am in the era of Laserdiscs was not a troublemaker.

You know, somehow none of the times I did Video Room duty ever involved dealing with this. And I had a nice poking stick ready just in case!

I’d go with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Very high chance he’ll wake up in time to headbang along with the bridge. Everyone does.

KISS’s “Rock and Roll All Night (And Party Every Day) would wake the dead!

I use speed metal to rouse my campers from their mooching slumber.

Speed metal has a very soothing quality to me — I often fall asleep listening to it…
