With sleep, usually the action isn't being preformed yet.
You don't say "she is sleep" you say "she is asleep".
However, you can say "I am going to go to sleep" because the action hasn't been preformed yet.

Sleep is used as a noun or verb.
- Go get some sleep (n).
- You should sleep (v) since you're tired.
Asleep is used as an adjective or adverb.
- He was asleep (adj).
- He fell asleep. (adv)
- English (US)
Sleep is a verb, and asleep is a state of being. You would use them in this way: I was asleep, or I was sleeping. Both mean nearly the same thing, but as mentioned before one is a state of being and one is considered an action.
