I think Benny might be on to something... it may be an attempt to establish this "sleeping man" character to make us want to see what he is up to next. However, like the MS spots with Gates, they run the risk that we might not care... This could happen if the ads are produced by someone who does not truly understand the user experience, imho.
I see it more as a comment to "if a tree falls and no one is around, does it make a sound".
At the end of the shoot the guy stops the recording, attaches a "fun" comment to it and uploads = if he hadn't been there (with his N900) all the amazing things that happened while the guy slept would never have been seen.

Personally I liked the first one, as it builds from something simple, fish jumping to a meteor passing by.

The second one didn't speak to me at all.
