So, after listening to song a lot in the fast few days (haven't been sleeping much... therefore I listen to a song with 'sleep' in the title, it makes perfect sense to me...)... I guess I'm finally able to figure out what it means. At first, I thought 'she' was a metaphor for sleep. It can still be taken that way though.
But since he can't sleep... and he isn't relaxed or at peace... he needs the person he's looking for... he isn't able to sleep restfully. Until the girl loves him, he is in sleep's arms, instead of the girl's arms. Sleep is where he goes at night, because she won't stay with him. There's a part of him that believes she won't want to be with him, so he wants her to feel his pain. He almost regrets this, because the "for you" at the end is sung so sweetly. He doesn't want just anyone, but her.
Other than that, this is the perfect unrequited love song. As many people said before, no matter how tempting the thought may be, never let the one you love listen to this song. Well, they can listen to it on their own, just don't make them listen to it. It's just an all-around bad idea.
