Question

I fell asleep around 2 AM. OR I fell asleep AT around 2 AM
Should  AT be placed in the sentence?

Answer

While leaving it in would still constitute proper English, in reality most native speakers would leave it out.

Answer

Yes, either "I fell asleep at 2 am" or "I fell asleep around 2 am," but the former is more specific. The latter means "I'm not sure when exactly I fell asleep, but it was around 2 am."

Answer

Both expressions are widely used, anyway I'd say either that I fell asleep at 2:00 or that I fell asleep around 2:00

Answer

You don't put "at" there.

Answer

I fell asleep around 2 a.m. is more normal.
