Look, why don't you just use $room:enterfunc()?  That'll always be called
when someone enters the room, and have it check for any "sleeping" 
objects and call <sleeper>:wakeup() or something (which would be ignored
if <sleeper> were already awake.) Similarly, $room:exitfunc() can check to
see if there are any players left in room.contents and if not, call
<sleeper>:goodnight(). 

Easier than parsing through :tell(), by about a million miles.
