Where does the doctrine of soul sleep come from since it was never taught by the Apostolic Churches?

Does it come from Gnosticism?

If I may, it is a by-product of Protestantism. It began as mere speculation but then became a polemic against the Roman view of purgatory. So to say, "if we don't go to purgatory where do we go?" Uhhh...soul sleep!
