How To Respond To "I Fell Asleep" (No Big Deal Replies)
Take this at face value. People genuinely fall asleep mid conversation, especially late at night, and reading into it as a lie or a slight is exactly the kind of insecure move that pushes someone away. Respond warm and easy, maybe with a light joke about it, and keep the thread going like nothing happened.

Is she making an excuse if she says she fell asleep?
Usually not, it's one of the most common and mundane reasons for a text gap. Assume good faith unless it's a repeated pattern paired with other flaky behavior.
Should I ask what time she fell asleep?
Not necessary, it can come off like you're checking her story. A simple acknowledgment moves things along better.
How do I keep the conversation going after this?
Reference what you were talking about before or ask a light new question. Don't restart with something heavy, ease back into the same energy you had.
Is it a bad sign if she often falls asleep during our texts?
Not on its own, some people text late at night and genuinely doze off. Only worth a real conversation if it consistently comes paired with short, low-effort replies overall.
