Several things about the Alien's behaviour made no sense.


Why is it asleep when Ripley is in the same room? Facts about Xenomorphs say that it has both crazy good hearing abilities and crazy good sensing abilities. It makes no sense that it is asleep at the time. On top of that, the ship was making lots of noises, how did it even manage to sleep if it wanted to? Secondly, how did it get in to the reserve ship when it clearly was outside of the ship as Ripley closed it. There is no other way in. This also falls back on it being asleep. it basically teleported itself in to the reserve ship, just to decide to sleep right away? Not important to kill Ripley or anything?

It wasn’t sleeping it was pining for the fjords.

I don't think it was asleep. I think it was hiding until Ripley flew away from danger.
