No 1 & 3 can’t be correct,

“I was sleeping when my father come home” - “come home” in this case is weird because you started the sentence with past tense, “I was sleeping” and you can’t end the sentence on a different tense.

A:
"Recently, she's often gone to sleep next to me. *Sobs* So freaking happy. #sleeping like a log."
This sounds more natural. :) "with me aside" is not a phrase we use in English. It sounds strange. Say "next to me" or "beside me" instead.
Also, instead of "recently", you can use "lately". It sounds more natural.
よくがんばったね!
