Are falling asleep and waking up governed by shifting balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system?

Yes. The hypothalamus is the ruler of the autonomic nervous system which has the subdivisions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The pineal gland is what controls our day/night clock under the supervision of the hypothalamus. There are two neuropeptides that our body uses in each state, awake and asleep. During the day dopamine (sympathetic) helps us stay alert and at night melatonin (parasympathetic) helps us sleep.
