It was the bad consciences of the guilty parties.

It might help to put it into a slightly wider context. The line (spoken by Macbeth) occurs during the dialogue he has with Lady Macbeth immediately after he murders King Duncan. Wild with the emotion of the act, he describes for her what he saw -- and heard -- while he was up in the King's chamber. He claims that he heard a voice saying: "Sleep no more! Macbeth hath murdered sleep..."
I think the line has more than one reference. In killing Duncan, Macbeth has committed the ultimate cowardly act...he killed an unprotected, SLEEPING man; a guest in his own home! He has transgressed, therefore, against the very ACT of sleep and sleeping.
At the same time, the prophetic voice is telling him that, as a result of his own guilt, he has, in essence, murdered his OWN ability to sleep...he has forever deprived himself of the capacity for that kind of healing rest.

The line is: "Macbeth hath murdered sleep.", a reference to his guilt induced sleeplessness.
