Amanpreet Kaur Ji there is nothing like Naam Abhiyas in Gurmat. Naam in Gurmat is Godly Virtues and Abhiyas is remembering them every moment of life. Practicing Naam (Godly Virtues) like this , you will never fall sasleep. Bhai Gurdas Ji says
ਜੈਸੇ ਖਾਂਡ ਖਾਂਡ ਕਹੈ ਮੁਖਿ ਨਹੀ ਮੀਠਾ ਹੋਇ ਜਬ ਲਗ ਜੀਭ ਸ੍ਵਾਦ ਖਾਂਡੁ ਨਹੀਂ ਖਾਈਐ ॥ Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas
Jais Khandd Khandd Kehai Mukh Nehi Mitha Hoe Jab Lag Jeebh Svad Khandd Nehin Khaiai ||
ਜੈਸੇ ਰਾਤ ਅੰਧੇਰੀ ਮੈ ਦੀਪਕ ਦੀਪਕ ਕਹੈ ਤਿਮਰ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਜਬ ਲਗ ਨ ਜਰਾਈਐ
Jaisae Rat Andheri Mai Dipak Dipak Kehai Timar N Jai Jab Lag N Jaraiai ||
ਜੈਸੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਗਿਆਨ ਕਹੈ ਗਿਆਨ ਹੂੰ ਨ ਹੋਤ ਕਛੁ ਜਬ ਲਗੁ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
Jaise Giyan Giyan Kehai Giyan Hoon N Hot Kachu Jab Lag Gur Giyan Antar N Paiai ||
ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰ ਕਹੈ ਗੁਰਧਿਆਨ ਹੂ ਨ ਪਾਵਤ ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਗੁਰ ਦਰਸ ਜਾਇ ਨ ਸਮਾਈਐ ॥੫੪੨॥
Taise Gur Kehai Gurdhian Hoo N Pavat Tab Lag Gur Daras Jae N Samaiai
Just as by saying sugar, sugar, one cannot feel sweetness of sugar in the mouth, unless sugar is actually placed on the tongue. In a dark night, saying lamp, lamp does not dispel darkness unless lamp is lit. By saying knowledge (Giyan) again and again, knowledge cannot be obtained, unless carefully reading and understanding the text. Similarly just repeatedly chanting Guru, Guru, one cannot get virtues of the Guru. One can get virtues and merge with the Guru only by contemplating on the Shabd of the Guru. Get spiritual knowledge and wisdom from it and live life accordingly.

Yes you will fall asleep if you are doing WAHE GURU CHANTING OR MECHANICAL READING OF GURBANI. But if you are reading one verse at a time, trying to understand the meaning and message you wil; never fall asleep. try this.
I agree, instead of name simran read one shabad with meanings and think how does it apply to me.
Don’t worry be happy. Ok??
While doing Satnam WaheGuru if you go to sleep, it’s okay, don’t think too much about that. You may not realize that you might be doing Naam Simran while sleeping in your dreams, we don’t know. Please don’t get discouraged, please keep doing what you are doing, Naam Simran, if your body gets relaxed and you sleep, just imagine you are doing Naam Simran in your sleep and in your dreams. Okay??
Don’t worry be happy, you are on right path, doing Naam Simran.
We fall asleep when anything is not of our interest or we do not understand.
Ritual recitation is not going to help in any way. We have to understand and follow Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib. Best is to recite slowly with understanding.
