If I use a Hex against a creature that is sleeping, do they wake up?

Hi, I have a Witch character with the Evil Eye, the Gift of Consumption and Greater Gift of Consumption hexes.

I'm planning that my character is going to murder another PC. The plan goes like this: my PC will wait for the other character to fall sleep, then it would use the Evil Eye hex on the character, and then he will drink a bottle of the Tears of Death poison (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/afflictions/poison/tears-of-death/) redirecting that effect to the other character using the Greater Gift of Consumption hex. Then if the character doesn't pass its save, it would do a Coup de grace on the character because it's paralized.

My question is: when I use the Evil Eye hex on the other character, would they immediately wake up or will they continue sleeping? Would they have to roll perception or something like that? Would they know immediately that I used a hex on them?

Thanks in advance.

That’s a bit round-a-bout and unnecessary… sleeping creatures are considered helpless and therefore valid targets for coup-de-grace. There is no need to induce paralysis to accomplish your goal. The only risk involved is them succeeding their perception check while sleeping to notice you and wake up, and that risks persists for your planned route as well. If they wake up while your are attempting to force feed them the poison then your attempt would fail since they are nolonger helpless and therefore can resist.

As for the question regarding hexes waking sleeping targets… yes, the target could wake up as a result of you using a hex on them the same as if you used a spell on them.
