Jumma Prayer - , One who dozes off during Friday prayer

What should one do if one feels oneself dozing off during Friday prayer?
If a person dozes while listening to the Friday sermon, it is
recommended for him tochange the place with the person next to him. In
doing this he should be careful not to speak; rather, he should use
some gestures (hand movements, etc.). The evidence for this is the
hadith narrated by Samrah who said: The Prophet (peace be upon him)
said: If one ofyou dozes during the Friday sermon, he shouldexchange
his position with the person sitting next to him.
(Al-Baihaqi, 3/238; Sahih Al-Jami' No. 812)
Another hadith has beennarrated by Ibn 'Umar who said: The Prophet
said: If one of you dozes in the mosque on Friday, he should move his
positionto another place.
