That depends on if you're attacked by a monster or not.  Lets say a sleeping
dragon has a natural armour of 73.  Does he have it over his eyes?  What about
vulnerable spots?  The wonderful thing about a sleeping target is, you can
basically measure up your victim and hit him right in a vital spot.  A chink in
the armour, a joint, etc.

I seem to recall AD&D used to have rules regarding instant kills on sleeping
opponents.  Thats a bit brutal though, but probably realistic.

As for a monster knowing how to hit a vulnerable spot.. I'm not totally sure
about that.  Dogs know to go for the neck.. there must be something to that.
