PHRASAL VERB FRIDAY: 'TO NOD OFF': meaning and examples

Hi everyone and happy Friday to you!

I have a quick question: have you ever fallen asleep at work, at a meeting, in class, or on public transport? We use the verb TO FALL ASLEEP to describe this, but there is also a colloquial phrasal verb to describe this action: TO NOD OFF

Definition: to fall asleep. 

Example 1: Look at that man nodding off on the train. 

Example 2: I nodded off during the movie. What happened? 

Example 3: When the kids started to nod off, she turned off the lights. 

What makes you nod off? A glass of wine? Relaxing music? The Daily Vitamin? ;-)
