Bravely Default II[]
Sleep is not a part of any job command, though it is used by the Bronzegoyle enemy.

Sleep attempts to put a target to sleep.
Etymology[]
Sleep is a state of resting, wherein one is unable to do anything else, and the spell's function is to put people into that state by inflicting the sleep status.
The ability originally appeared in the Final Fantasy, being introduced as a Black Magic spell in the original Final Fantasy. It has consistently been a low-level Black Magic spell and while the initial version targeted all enemies, most subsequent versions target only one enemy, as the version in Bravely Default does.
