I didn't get enough sleep last night, and am really falling asleep here.

I am drwosy becasue I didn't get a good night's rest/sleep.

Feeling out of it / out of sorts from a lack of sleep.

**fell short of sleep**
Не годится, при всем уважении. Подумайте почему или
приведите стоящий аргумент.

Узус. Это стоящий аргумент?

I am short of sleep - ok, fell short - действительно узус.
Нет, это "левый аргумент", для лохов...

watch your step here.

To fall short on sleep means that it takes you forever to get to sleep which means you are not getting enough sleep. In essence, it can be said.

If the speaker means that he is suffering from a lack of sleep because it takes him a long time to get to sleep once he is in bed, then gel has a good suggestion. We would need more context to know, though.

And no, falling short is not exactly the same as insomnia. It can lead to it though.
