Is it correct to say like this:
I'm like to fall asleep
?

I know "I'm about" is ok here but nevertheless..

Thanks
 
'I'm likely to fall asleep'.
 
In spoken English in the South, you'll hear "I'm like to..." to mean "It's likely that I will..." but don't use it if you're not from there and don't use it in writing.
