Yes: Should be watched for sedation and diminished respiration and reflexes. Depends on coexisting other factors...disease, meds

It sounds like he: slept off the lorazepam. It can be quite sedating. Doesn't sound like any harm was done. It could have been dangerous if he drove a vehicle or operated dangerous machinery. Be cautious with benzodiazapines in the future. Take care.
