I luv this song too but sleep is just the analogy for not being able to achieve what the singers deems as love because the other person that they're involved with is a not capable, they are emotionally unavailable and refuse to hear, they may even act like they don't care or intentionally toy with the singers heart and the singer is caught between what they feel for the person and their idea of a relationship and the hard realities of this circumstance, when they say they can't breathe or sleep that line represents the lack of normalcy or peace in the relationship..Isn't love like sleep or air? Something us humans can't live without.
