ネイティブからのアドバイス
This is a good sentence.
I only made two minor changes.
I added the word “and” and replaced the word “the” with “his” to make the sentence read more natural.
Using the word “and” in your sentence states you are adding additional information to the person who is “dozing”.
The word “his” in your sentence shows you are talking about the position the person returned to when you saw him.
グッドセンテンス!
