The antecedent of the relative clause is the entire main clause ( Alice is still sleeping ). Because of that, which is the only correct relative pronoun and a comma is needed after the main clause. As there is no comma in any of the alternatives, they are all wrong.

Thank you, Cool Breeze!

Thanks for your detailed explanation. Thanks to your explanation, I noticed that I was confused since there was no comma.
