1 John 1:9

So what you posted above applies to the apostles who kept disobeying Jesus by falling asleep after He told them to stay awake?

Luke 13:3 Jesus said to repent or perish, there is no loophole to get around this even though it appears you're looking for one.
IF it was sinful for the Apostles to fall asleep, IF they did not repent IF Christ forgave them anyway (that's a lot of if-ing) then the only conclusion that can be drawn from that is Christ is not faithful and true to His own words.

I think Christ recognizes our human weaknesses, which is why He said to the apostles after they disobeyed Him "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak".

It's not a matter of trying to find a loophole. It's a matter of being humble and honest in admitting that we don't obey as we ought to.

You posted "It's a matter of being humble and honest in admitting that we don't obey as we ought to" and I agree. What you posted here is a requirment for the Christian, not an option. Those Christians that will not humble themselves and repent will not continue to have their sins forgiven. This has been a requirment of God's people both under the OT (2 Chronicles 7:14) and NT (1 John 1:7-9).
