Dear Mayur,
Before we give our comments, we need to know what was the duration of his shift, when OT started, when he was found sleeping, who found him, how the work was impacted, whether his sleeping was safety hazard etc.
Office memorandum is legal communication therefore, before issue of this memo one should verify whether the cause of the memo is legally acceptable. Lest it may do more harm than good!

Dear Mayur,
In your second post also, you have not given complete information. Your posts are very short in nature. What is the logic of withholding the information? While asking advice from seniors it is not advisable to write short messages. For how many hours he worker worked on completion of his regular shift? This simple question could have been answered. Hardly this is expected from HR. Please note that HR is not expected from basics of grammar!
For Kritarth Team: - It is not advisable to quote big words or phrases in our reply like "principles of natural justice" or "apex court" etc. unless we know complete facts of the case. Employers are not as white as lily. They also exploit the workers to the core. Principles of natural justice is not a one-way street. What if the worker had worked for 10 or 12 hours? After working for more than 10 or 12 hours also if employer wanted to take action then what advice would you like to give? Do we know under what circumstances worker had slept? Who told you that sleeping while on duty is "grave misconduct"?
Look at the both the posts of the originator of this post. Both are unprofessional. Possibly worker could be as much unprofessional as HR! Therefore, we the consultants need to maintain neutrality without taking sides.

Dear Mayur,
I understand that after working his full regular shift in the previous day ( since I found overlapping of two shifts from the timings mentioned in your latest response, I didn't take the spread overs here into account ), the worker was asked to work continuously in the next full shift which would end by 8-00A.M the next day - okay? To his bad luck, the Factory Manager who visited the shop floor the next day, found him sleeping during working hours at 6-30 A.M. So, it is evident that he was asked to work overtime for more than 2 hours continuously in the next shift after his day's normal work. Can't you realize that this is a clear violation of working hours including the time limit on over time work on your part? Statutory caps on working hours and over time work are not based on mere rules of thumb but are based on scientific research on normal physical endurance, health hazards, negative impacts on work such as productivity and accident proneness and the like. Hence my suggestion would be not precipitating the issue with any kind of disciplinary action. If you want to please the F.M who seems to be a ruthless disciplinarian, suggest that the poor workman may be warned this time.

Whether it is in regular duty, or working time of overtime, the employee should work in alert specially while working on machines as operator or in attending the work of manufacturing process.
Sleeping while on duty ( whether in Regular or in overtime work)
is a serious misconduct.
Issue Memo, get his explanation, take stern appropriate action or if you want to take lenient view this time, Give warning and put on his personal record.
