My coworker keeps falling asleep at his desk. Should I keep waking him up or just let him snooze?

We are pretty decent "work friends." We go to lunch together often and have hung out outside the office in a group, etc.

Update:

We are pretty decent "work friends." We go to lunch together often and have hung out outside of work in a group. Thanks!

Update 2:

This has been going on off-and-on now for a couple of months. He falls asleep sitting up in his chair and starts snoring. My boss also told me he fell asleep once while doing an interview, and the client complained!

I have spoken to him about it. I suggested, in a friendly way (we're fairly close) that he has been doing it so much lately I think he may want to see a doctor to make sure he doesn't have some sort of disorder.

But, the original question remains...

    I would tell him If he goes and sees a doctor about it, then you will keep helping him out. As long as it isnt just because he parties too much or stays up all night playing video games or something. He would need to take the necessary steps to help himself before I helped him anymore.

    if he keeps on doing it then you cant really do anything, cuz you cant spend your time worrying about waking him up. unless you are the boss then just let him be , he might eventually get fired but its not your fault.
