He just wanted to sleep more and more, as they slipped further so too did his grip and gaze.
This is probably wrong, but I always took his wanting to sleep as a call for his work to be done. As in it's not a physical need for sleep but a need to finally be at the point where Zodiark is back. Like the way we talk about a super repetitive job that we've done for a long time that tires us out mentally and spiritually more then physically anymore and are at the point of quitting for our mental health.
