Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
That performance apart, Sleep barely set the ball rolling as far as his leg spin was concerned. His staggeringly low strike-rate and high bowling average further drive this point home. While his bowling lacked the penetration required for international cricket, he did compensate at times with his dogged batting efforts. He was a more than useful batsman lower down the order but a dip in his primary skill meant that Sleep was fading away gradually from the side. To be fair to Sleep, there were times when he looked in good touch in the tour games of a trip but wasn't picked for the main matches.
After the Pakistan series at home in 1990, Sleep was never picked again and consequently, retired. He continued to be a main figure in domestic cricket in Australia and also in England where he represented Lancashire. He was a long term captain in these associations and eventually took to coaching as well. Sleep's coaching career has been vast and he has been at the helm of many teams during his tenures. During his County stint at Lancashire, he also started a hotel named 'The Wickets' in county. It was quite popular and ran smoothly until the year 2009.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Legspinner Peter Sleep was one of the many relatively anodyne slow bowlers given a chance before Shane Warne arrived. He was rather innocuous at Test level, as a strike rate of a wicket every 96 balls suggests. He did win an Ashes Test, though, at Sydney in 1986-87, taking his only five-for in the second innings of a match better remembered for Peter Taylor's debut exploits. Sleep, who was wittily nicknamed "Sounda", also made three Test fifties, and was a Lancashire League regular for many years, before becoming captain and then coach of Lancashire's 2nd XI.
