failing asleep 

This term describes the nightly experience of those unfortunate schmucks who just absolutely cannot fucking fall asleep, no matter how much thrashing around in bed they do or how much ruminating over past mistakes they indulge in. Instead of falling asleep, an insomniac is simply failing asleep.

Alice: "Wow, you look like hell"
Bob: "<mumble> last night I was failing asleep and couldn't stop thinking about some shit from middle school when I got my bike stolen"

Falling asleep at the wheel 

When a hamster finds themselves really tuckered out, after all that cardio. And doesn't want to move from the wheel before taking a nap.

Man. Moo Moo sure has been falling asleep at the wheel a lot lately. I wonder how much he'd hate me if I poked his little belly right now.

Falling Asleep at the Wheel 

When someone is obviously tired and/or dozing off, but refuses to acknowledge their lack of alertness.

Bob: Joe Anne, you look tired.
Joe Anne: No, I'm just...thinking.
Bob: Seriously, its bedtime.
Joe Anne: No, I'm awake!
Bob: Joe Anne, you're falling asleep at the wheel.
