He drifted off in his chair and slept a dreamless sleep. When he woke up it was dark and he climbed out of the chair and up the stairs to continue his sleep in more comfortable surroundings.
He crept towards his bedroom in the dark because he knew the way perfectly well and didn't want to be properly woken up by the light shining right in his face on the stairs.
If he had switched it on he would have noticed his full beard in the mirror on the landing, a full beard that didn't exist on his face when he'd fallen asleep in the chair.
