In this scene a teenage boy traveling with 2 older male companions has to spend the night in an old barn with 2 rather unsavory characters in another stall a few yards away. When he wakes in the morning he finds out his boots have been stolen and sets up quite a fuss. One of his companions asks him "Are you trying to wake the dead?" Is this translatable into Spanish or is there a better expression I could use?
Second, his companion wants to know why he went to sleep on his watch with these 2 characters "within spitting distance". How would you express in Spanish that someone is maybe a bit too close for comfort?
