That's not weird. That's quite normal.
Many people fall asleep during through actual meditation, although it's better if you don't. But it happens regularly.

It is because you are thinking of nothing.

Thanks. For a moment I thought I might have done something wrong

In some Asian monasteries the master will hit you on the back of the neck with a broad board if he thinks you are falling asleep while meditating.

I guess this comes with deep relaxation but I tend to agree with others that it's not a desired outcome
I attended a meditation class when I was pregnant with my first child and as I was drifting off I heard the instructor say that falling asleep wasn't what we were looking for #you're doing it wrong
Ever since however, I have used that technique to fall asleep when my mind is restless which has been invaluable to me for 40 years now

Meditating can have it's ups & downs..
Prime examples, good if you have anxiety & find it hard to relax or sleep , bad if you're with a hot chick & you fall asleep on the job!

I'm sure we could find ways of staying awake . Waking up may give me more cause for concern.

Avoid using your power drill or any other electrical implement.

I guess it depends on the type of meditation, but it's usually due to being overtired, bad posture or a combination of both. Keeping your eyes slightly open, just enough to allow a little light in helps to stay focused, and sitting with a straight, preferably unsupported back discourages sleep.
