Are you more likely to expire whilst sleeping in a car at a rest-stop, or a chain installation/removal area, or other some such around the highway (violent car-jacking?), or,
Not if you have enough oxygen in the car.
Assuming the area where you will park you car and sleep is safe, follow one of below options:
If the engine is not running: Open the windows a little bit in both sides of the car to allow the air to ventilate. I have done this few times and here I am.
If the engine is running: Switch the A/C on and turn the A/C recirculation OFF. When the A/C recirculation is turned on the air inside the car will be recirculated and no new fresh air will enter the car and the CO2 levels will rise leading to death, so you have to make sure it is OFF otherwise you will die. Anyway, keeping at least one window opened a little will be a good idea in case the engine was shut for any reason. The recirculation button looks like this:
Are you more likely to get into an accident due to drowsy driving?
YES, there is a good chance that you will have an accident and die if you drive while drowsy. It takes one second to hit another car or get off the road and hit a tree or something else. Remember, drowsy driving is not different than suicide bombing! you can kill yourself and other innocent people.
According to the DrowsyDriving.org 4% of the drivers who drove cars while drowsy had accidents.

(Or any other drivers)
