To cork off is American slang for falling asleep, usually suddenly or when you probably shouldn't — like nodding off on the couch mid-movie or dozing during a long meeting. The phrase has a vintage, mid-century American feel and conjures the image of someone just switching off like a light. It's casual and slightly humorous, more often used to describe someone else's impromptu nap than your own.
