The top 3 items in terms of importance are:
1) Sleep
2) Sleep
3) Sleep
For all the bleating about food and AVOD, they are so far down the list in terms of importance. Will you ever remember fondly a meal on an airplane? Or a particular film? Not me, but I will remember the memories made when I'm able to stand upright and function properly when I reach a destination well rested.

And since it was a daytime flight, I didn't want to sleep at all.

D'oh! Meant pre-departure drink, there have been times where I was still at the bar at 5:30am when I had a 7am departure. Gotta love priority line and traveling with no carry-on.

I usually get a lot of attention when i walk into an aircraft. Maybe it's because of my finely pressed business suit. Maybe it's because of the expensive leather shoes I wear or the masculine perfume on me.
I maybe exhibit confidence and wealth. The cabin crew are always very attentive and it's almost impossible for me to get any sleep in the first 2-3 hours as they always tend to want to ask if i need a re-fill of a drink, or to ask me where i am from, where i am going and if i a lawyer or a doctor or an engineer...conversations never end.

Fair credit where due, I've had an excellent beef steak on AC before, and really enjoyed the odd film too. I've also had a few meals memorable for the wrong reasons.
But eat or sleep... it depends on so many factors, I don't get why they can't just ask and, as has been noted make a note (no pun intended). Asking is the first step, actually taking the correct action based on this should be something so obvious as not needing to be stated.
Alternatively, just hold the meal until the person wakes up though I can see how this would be difficult outside of the premium cabins due to numbers involved. Personally I put my tray table out regardless of service if I'm closing my eyes and want to eat. In these cases prodding me awake if being served something hot would be preferable.
