1.)OK the party is sleeping, one pc is on guard.
orcs are sneaking in to attack.

the guard sees the orc at the last possible second.

the orcs can run in and be in melee in one turn.
how many pc's can the guard wake up?
can he yell and wake up the whole party, would that counted as a bonus action?

2.) pc was put to sleep with a sleep spell. his party member wants to wake him up.
will this take his party member a action or bonus action to wake him up?

1. As anyone who has ever endured living with children can tell you, being woken up by sufficient noise is an all too easy task. I think he could wake up the entire team with one scream - it seems to work in my household at least.

2. It takes an action (Not a bonus action) it says so in the spell description.

Not everyone is woken so easily, I'd probably sleep through the entire fight with how deeply I sleep (I once slept through a jackhammer outside my window), but then I wouldn't make a particularly good adventurer anyway.
