Ok, now I know just how tired I was last night, because okiru/okosu is "to wake up", not "to sleep". However, "to sleep" does have a transitive version--it translates as "to put to bed" (and also apparently, "to ferment", at least according to the online dictionary I use.)
It's a fun dictionary to browse through--apparently turning over in bed is the same thing as betrayal. (I did a search based on the kanji for "to sleep" to find all the words that use it.)
