What am I?
Hint:

I think the answer is:
REMOVER
My prefix is asleep.
Somebody experiencing REM is asleep.
My infix is what my whole is doing.
A remover's role is to MOVE something from one place to another.
My suffix is bowling.
An OVER is a cricket term for a set of six balls bowled by the bowler.
My whole is packing.
You will very likely find a REMOVER packing items from your home in order to take them to your new place!

As replied by pos(t)er, it isn’t . . .
. . . “(k)napsacking.”
Thought it was because . . .
. . . “nap” is a short sleep while “sack” is a colloquialism for storing one’s belonings.
And, well, . . .
. . . kingpin is vital to bowl down.
Always worth a try.
