Answer:
I believe the doctor was trying to sleep.
Explanation:
Dr. Frankenstein affirms, at a certain moment in history, that he only feels happy when he is sleeping and that is why he wants to sleep for as long as possible, because when he is sleeping he can dream of his family and a world where he did not create the monster and caused all suffering to all those he loved. He further states that when he is awake he can only wish to die to get rid of this guilt and heartbreak. For that reason, I do not believe he was actually asleep on the sailboat, but he was trying to fall asleep to find some comfort.
