You don't fall asleep while you're flying an airplane.

Correct, and even if one did, which is HIGHLY unlikely, how about the other guy. This is just inexplicable.

Seems like a person could fall asleep (or at least seriously zone out) doing most any task that has become mundane to them.

Or if they are fatigued enough.

You don't if you're flying a plane on which *I* am a passenger. (/ sarc) But this latest twist doesn't add up.

It happens all the time. I remember Chuck Yeager in his biography saying he did it all the time when flying cross country (not while being a test pilot though).

This is why we are hearing speculation from so many pilots that the crew fell asleep. They've done it themselves or know of other pilots who have.
