LOL - That is hilarious! I would choose option A, unless it was a friend (and then I'd wake them up before the boss showed up). As much as I'd love to post on FB - there are just to many problems that could arise from that one ...
VERY LOUD NOISE. There is no other solution.
When we lived and worked in Shanghai, everyone took naps after lunch. I still think it is a practice we should adopt in the US even though I am not sure I could ever do it without feeling incredibly self conscious and guilty for sleeping at work!
D.) Snap photo and keep in case co-worker causes problems for you. Then give photo to boss.
But really, I'd just make a loud noise to wake them up. I had a co-worker once who had something like narcolepsy, kept falling asleep at work. He was unproductive anyway, even before he developed that problem, so he eventually quit and went on disability. At least we didn't have to do his work for him anymore.
I'm soooo glad Facebook did not exist when I was working for mumblemumble and went through several weeks of falling asleep at my desk! LOL It was awful!!! Combination of an infant at home, just back from maternity leave, warm office and not enough busy-work! =)
