@avantgame If you can strike up a conversation, just ask if he has sleep apnea. He might use a CPAP, which would be tough on a plane.
Okay consensus is he might not know + it could be helpful to say something later when he is awake. Can anyone with experience suggest what?

@davehogg good idea. Also I will now google cpac :) -
@avantgame@davehogg Make sure you ask about a CPAP not a CPAC - he probably doesn't own a conservative political action group :) -
@SheriRubin@davehogg heehee :) whoops
