You need a lawyer to assist you. If no contemporaneous report of being caught sleeping on the job was made, then the company has no evidence of dereliction of duty. Plus, many places of employment have cameras, and these can possibly refute their claims.

Not enough information. Best plan is to get a private lawyer, or a public defender, to sort it out.
