That's not what I wrote. Please return and re-read. In the event of an emergency it is foolish to wait expectantly for the FA, awake or asleep, to rescue you. You make your own plan. I'm more worried about passengers who either sleep through the safety demo themselves or freeze up passively when they must act to save themselves without awaiting permission.

But it may be the FA's 17th or 18th hour on duty. The serious issue that needs to be addressed is stupid, dangerous crew scheduling on the part of cheap regionals.
