1 then: "Then" introduces an action which happened subsequently or after another action. Another example: "Bruno entered his office, then quickly closed the door". Note that we do not need to repeat the subject of the verb(s) when we use "then".
2 before: If something happens "before I knew it", it happens before the speaker realises it is happening. This is a common English idiom. Another example: "I thought I would be young and single forever, but before I knew it, I was married with four children!".
3 first: "First" in this context has the same meaning as "beforehand". The speaker is saying that they remembered to close the door before falling asleep on the sofa. Another example: "You can go to the party, but you have to tidy your room first" (before going to the party).
