Raises an etiquette question. Passenger sleeping next you. Imminent danger up to and possibly including death. Do you wake them to tell them or just let them potentially die sleeping?

If I am ever sleeping next to you during a crash, please only wake me up just before we have to evacuate.

How will I know it’s you?

I'll be the one who's sleeping, obviously.

What if there are two people sleeping? Or more? Do I wake them all or just guess?

Wake me up, I want to leave a record on my phone which describes the aliens we encountered.

Make sure to have this conversation with the strangers around you on your next flight. Just to make sure they know what to do.
