[Answer]
最近疲れているせいか、夜、ベッドに入るか入ら（＿＿）眠ってしまう。
Maybe because I’ve been tired lately, I fall asleep almost the moment I get into bed at night.
〜か〜ないかのうちに
just as, right after, as soon as ~
＝Right after something happens, the next thing follows almost immediately.
In this sentence, the idea is “I fall asleep the moment I get into bed.”
It emphasizes how quickly I fall asleep—just that fast.
That’s why 「ないかのうちに」 is the best choice here.
Other choices:
〜かと思うと
＝A change happens suddenly after something.
You can say:
ベッドに入ったかと思うと寝てしまった。
As soon as I got in bed I fell asleep.
But “ベッドに入るか入らないかと思うと” is incorrect and unnatural.
The form doesn’t match.
〜かぎり
＝“As long as 〜 continues to happen”
(Not a match in grammar or meaning.)
〜となると
＝“If that is the case / If it comes to that…”
(Not a match in grammar or meaning.)
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
