HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fainting is loss of consciousness when a person is up and about and alert.
If he is sleeping then he would not faint.
This would be a problem that can occur during his wake time.
It is possible that his medication may have caused him to faint, this is side effect of some meds.
He should go to see his doctor for review. His doctor may want to check his sitting and standing blood pressure to see if it is low.
He may also need to drink more fluids, dehydration is also a cause of fainting.
I hope this helps
