Other Library workers I have coworkers sleeping on the job - how do you handle this?

I have 1 coworker who will fall asleep at their desk outside of their break time. They sees nothing wrong with this but it rubs me the wrong way. It's time theft in my opinion. My manager doesn't seem to notice or does and doesn't do anything. My other coworkers don't seem to care or are just plainly minding their business. Now a new coworker who already doesn't do their job - they only read their personal books or play on their phone in front of patrons. Has seen them do this and has picked up the habit of napping in our shared office outside of their break time. I don't really know how to handle this situation and it's beginning to get on my nerves. I know I should probably just ignore the situation and let it play out how it will. Maybe I just needed to rant.

I am a hearing daughter of an older hard of hearing mom. She has been HoH my whole life and my biggest worry is the fact that even with her hearing aids in she can't hear tornado sirens. We live in the Midwest and tornado season has been bad this year. I now work night once per week and I'm in my mid 20s so I'll eventually be moving out. I worry she won't be aware of a tornado warning and won't be able to take shelter in time if I'm not around. She always makes sure I know if we are in a tornado watch and makes sure I know I need to keep an ear out so I can get her and get down to the basement since she can't hear. Are there any tools that I can get her to help her stay safe and warn her about tornados? She doesn't keep the ringer on her phone up so me just calling her isn't the best option cause she'll just miss the call.
