Hmmm ... you have a point there. Still, it's not the same as
passivizing "sleep", as that's actually passivizing "sleep in", not
"sleep" alone.
I suppose something like "That woman was exited by the baby" could make
sense as well, that is, where the verb would be transitive, agent is the
child, patient is the mother.
