The Spartan would win regardless of circumstance. You have to cast aside preconceptions. Spartans were far more then rank and file. They too were equally adept assassins in their own right. Spartan adolescents were routinely sent out on assassination missions. They would go out in the night to murder any slave or helot they came across. With obvious emphasis on not being caught. Not to mention that their social status being that they were slave owners. Probably had them growing eyes in the back of their heads.
So no a Spartan soldier isn't very likely to be caught grossly unawares, or to be found sleeping by themselves in any exposed location. They were probably quite paranoid, and of a real right to be paranoid. Now if that isn't enough for you by the point they became soldiers they would have already had fifteen years of combat training. That would be primarily training outside of the phalanx. During which time they would have been exposed to a ridiculous regimen of athletics, deprivation, and what amounts to torture.
Spartans were far more individually adept then most give them credit for. The first fifteen years of their training they were absolutely alone. They were pitted against one another. This notion that Spartans themselves were entirely one dimensional is bogus. They were both trained soldiers, and trained assassins. So when you imply that a Ninja has a chance. I am sorry the Spartan is double trouble all the way. Not only does he have both in his stable they are complimenting one another.
