From UC T&Cs
Note: Most/All of the Polaris lounges have a sleeping / day bed area
Sleeping is prohibited in all United Club locations.
The Polaris Lounge at ORD and SFO each have four sleeping cubicles (near the restroom at ORD, near the showers at SFO). Feel free to nod off there.
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.

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.

I don't understand how this can bother anybody. I actually do this all the time and not just in a lounge.

'it' if referred to as sleep or sleeping is not defined in the T&C. The conduct that would get you removed from the club and terminated from ual membership is in ual's determination and is for conduct United determines 'inappropriate'. 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.

Putting aside the legality, as this is not a legal forum, why is there a need to wake up strangers in the first place?

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.
