fall asleep as soon as ~

-(으)면 gives the trigger for sleeping. The stock phrase appears twice here: 머리만 대면 자다 — asleep the moment your head touches the pillow, with 만 meaning 'the instant that and nothing more'. Other lines use it plainly for habits: 집에 가면 자요 (I sleep once I get home), 해 꺼지면 자고 (sleep when the sun goes out).
