i'd like to see more of these quizes :-)
i think negative sleep means insomnia..
insomnia builds up until one sleeps, so i figure it works this way:

irb(main):001:0> sleep(-5)
=> -5
irb(main):002:0> sleep(6)
* 1 second later *
=> true

so my solution looks like this:

#------------------

alias :old_sleep :sleep
$sleep=0

def sleep(n)
  $sleep+=n
  if $sleep>0
    old_sleep($sleep)
    $sleep=0
    true
  else
    $sleep
  end
end
 #------------------

greetings, Dirk.
