Sleeping is prohibited in all United Club locations.

The GFL at LHR has a section with around a half-dozen lie-flattish platform where you can doze too. Not really too private.

Is sleeping allowed at any United {Club} lounges?

The Hawaii bank of red eyes into SFO or LAX often get people woken up by employees

I can understand employees tasked with patrolling duty to seek out passengers who fell asleep. But for another pax to notice this is amazing to me.
Unless I am disturbed or disrupted, I simply wouldn't have a clue what other passengers are or are not doing.

Just because something is not in a T&C does not make it allowed.

If the lounge wants to enforce a no-sleeping rule, so be it. But others should mind their own business.

Rules or not, the best place is the F lounge in ORD. Go to the back corner all the way to the right (if you were looking at the bar or out the windows.) There's a bench there and it is fairly well hidden. I've seen multiple people sack out there, and may have done that a few times coming in off a red eye. Never have an issue at 6 am.

Considering sleep is allowed on their aircraft and in airports, it would be hard to argue the case that sleeping is inappropriate conduct. .
If you came up and touched me to wake me up from a nap, that could be considered inappropriate conduct. unwanted touching may not be lawful.

UA used to have a strict no-sleeping-in-lounge policy. What we don't know if their removing it from the T&C verbiage is a sign of a more relaxed approach or not.

If anyone has an urge to actually touch a complete stranger to wake them, please don't. It's creepy.

A friend of mine just flew from ORD - CPH - ZRH after a long drive down from Traverse City and found a place to nap - in the new ORD wing of Terminal 5. He said he caught a good 90 minutes of slumber. I guess there's nothing there yet but a few chair banks, relatively clean carpet. Said it was hard to find a working outlet to charge his phone, though.
