I know it has been a while ... but I know how to avoid sleeping you should search the area and you should find a chest that has an accessory that called amulet of awareness that will remove the sleeping effect you will found it in the southwest of the map I remember there was a two invisible wall behind each other before I found the chest and I'm actually not 100% sure from the location my bad ... but that the way to avoid the sleeping effect.
I can't thank you enough lol
