Only SDA and JW accept soul sleep. No one else does.
Not sure of what you mean by soul sleep but if you mean according to the words oh Jesus when he referred to Lazarus as sleeping, meaning death from the flesh body on this Earth is as falling asleep. Baptist Churches I have attended preach and teach that the soul is sleeping.

Jehovah witnesses are closer to Judaism than they are to Christianity. Because of their disbelief in the deity of Christ, they do not recognize the Son.

What are you referring to when you say soul sleep?
Soul sleep means that believers are unconscious until the general judgment. The way that people who sleep are.

Jehovah witnesses are closer to Judaism than they are to Christianity. Because of their disbelief in the deity of Christ, they do not recognize the Son.

What are you referring to when you say soul sleep? When Jesus said Lazarus is sleeping. I know Baptist teach preach that the soul only sleeps awaiting judgment Day, at least those I have attended in my years of life.

Jehovah witnesses have their own interpretation of the Bible and do not recognize Christ as Lord and Savior or his divinity, their belief is more closer to Judaism than it is to Christianity.
Off topic. Baptists don’t believe in soul sleep. This is a Catholic forum.
