As I was deplaning, the FA said "we didn't want to wake you because you were sleeping like a baby... after we made sure you were alive of course..."

I should have brought that "Please wake me for meals" sticker that I got from a Cathay Pacific toiletry bag.

I ended up having questionable airport sushi for breakfast/lunch during my 2-hour connection.

If you want Breakfast and you think you're going to be sleeping, then TELL THE FA that you want to be awakened for Breakfast! It really is that easy! Most people do NOT want to be awakened when they are sleeping. So, it is relatively easy to just tell the FA your preference.
