My enemies have set a trap for me.
I am weary from distress.
They have dug a deep pit in my path,
but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude
7 My heart is confident in you, O God;
my heart is confident.
No wonder I can sing your praises!
8 Wake up, my heart!
Wake up, O lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn with my song. Psalm 57:6-8

I don’t understand the meaning of “heart to sleep”.
Ahh. Good question. In this verse the psalmist is calling his heart to awaken. Something has put his heart to sleep. I guess the first question is do you think it’s a good thing that his heart is asleep or a bad thing? Depending on what you think what kinds of things cause your heart to be put to sleep?
I don’t know if my heart sleeps. When I see what is happening in the world I am sadden, and heart broken. My heart awakes to a praise song and reading good news (as in a Bible and reading uplifting stories) as the saying goes.
I think that is the key. turning our eyes towards hope awakens us. turning our eyes towards the hopelessness makes our souls numb.
