After the agent passed through most resumed their positions.
I have to say I have fallen asleep in airport lounges but not often and no one bothered me. I definitely have fallen asleep in the lobby of a hotel arriving too early too check in, the Singapore Shangri-La and Westin Tokyo Ebisu specifically come to mind. I was woken by hotel staff both times.
i recently read a French travel blog where somone "figured out" how to invite their traveling companions into the Polaris lounges in the US. Two were in business, they got printed boarding passes and gave one each to friend. They went in first using their electronic boarding passes. 20 minutes later the friends came in with the paper boarding passes. The first two collected the boarding passes, left the lounge and gave them to the two remaining friends who waited a bit and then came in. Apparently this worked at the beginning of the summer with no problem. I think the lounges may need to require ID on the second entry on the same day. I kind of miss the pre-covid days, traveling was more preditacable and more civilized.
