Difference in definition: Asleep = in or into a state of sleep. Sleep = Temporary suspension of consciousness and postural muscle relaxation. A kind of inactive rest for the body. Difference in usage: Sleep is frequently though both words are used interchangeably depending upon the context that comes handy in speech. Eg.: Fall asleep vs go to sleep. Is he asleep or is he sleeping? to sleep IS NOT EQUAL TO 'to asleep'. Hope that helps. read less

While the word “sleep” refers to the act of going to sleep, the word “asleep” refers to the state of already being in a state of sleep. Examples: “I will sleep later. I fell asleep while watching television. I get irritated and angry whenever I am disturbed while asleep.”

Sleep is an action and asleep is a state you are in when u sleep. So when you sleep, you are asleep.

My students' success in IELTS is my testimony!

Sleep is slumber, a state of rest. For example, A baby needs lot of sleep (n). I can't sleep (v) with the light on. Asleep is sleeping or slumbering. For example, She is fast asleep (aj), don't disturb her. He fell asleep (aj) during the meeting. Hope my explanation clarifies your doubt.
