It wasn't just a regular sleep, Gen 2:21 - "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept", it was more likely an induced coma than sleep, the same principle as general anesthesia, that is used in hospital surgery rooms, and for the very same reason. The other reason is because in The Bible Adam is a type of Christ, 1Corinthians 15:45-47 "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

So that as Christ died to redeem His bride Ephesians 5:30-32 "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church." , and received a wound in His side, John 19:33-34 "But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs, but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." And in the same manner Adam also "died" figuratively, and had his side "wounded", so he could obtain his bride, his own flesh and bone.
