Only if you are snoring loud enough to wake me up.

sin is when you hurt people right. it may be offensive to some people to see you sleeping or to the priest. since you are Catholic, you should know this.
The doctrine of the Nicolaitans was mentioned in the Apocalypse of John Revelation chapter 2. It is a symbolic name of a group of people that represents the hierarchy of a ruling class over the rest of the people, developing a pecking order of fleshly leadership. Jesus hates this and warns the people to repent. It is not the question of the ministries but rather in the separation of them into a hierarchy over the people. This very idea was taken over by the Protestants with their own corruption of leadership roles and coverings. The Church of Ephesus was commended for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans. The wrong separation of the clergy from the laity is a great evil in God's sight and He hates the lust for religious power over others. There is an ungodly spiritual authority in the Church today, which is nothing more than the prideful spirit of control, manipulation, domination and intimidation and a rebellion of the rightful authority of God

If you deliberately go to sleep during Mass, it's perhaps a sin, or at least an act of disrespect.
But if you doze off in Mass by accident, no, it's not. It's not a willing act, so it's not a sin. I've nodded off in Mass a few times.

No its not a sin if not done on purpose to offend God. But it is disrespectful and a bad example to others. Also, it is during mass that we receive and grow in grace and if you are asleep you just might miss it! I understand your situation but we have to try to stay awake. : )

No. Mass is simply a service it is not sacred and it is not a sin to be bored to sleep.

Sleeping might be better than saying things which are not at all beneficial to the souls.

Yes because you are not participating and you are bound by the letter of your law since you are cathollic.
