Default Re: use the word asleep as a adverb

Unfortunately, none of those sentences work. The expression is: "I went to sleep." Example:
A: What time did you go to sleep last night?
B: I went to sleep last night at about nine o'clock.
One might, possibly, say, "I fell asleep quickly" (It didn't take long) but not, "I fell asleep fast."
