Have some of the other girls you are friends with help you babysit him. If he does not do his homework when you have other girls there, tell him that you the girls are going to do something to him. Tell him that one girl will take his hands and another girl will take his ankles and they will carry him to his room. Another solution you could use is that if you have other girls babysitting him with you, you can tell him that if he slams his books down on the desk, all the girls are going to have to sit with him while he does his homework or that some of the girls will have to hold him down until he finishes his homework.
If you have other girls babysitting him with you, then all the girls can straighten him out.

well if bribing is your only choice in this case then u can do that. try telling him that if he does his homework quickly he can have a snack and watch his favorite movie. if that doesnt work then say you will play his favorite game with him if he gets it done. try to make it fun for him because if you make him mad or do things he doesnt like it then the next time you baby sit then its gonna be more hard because he is gonna remember how you were with him. to make your job and his job easier try to see things through his eyes. like if he wants to play a certain game then try to make it fun for you and him. do things he wants to do then after a while play the silent game. when he is done playing and has all the energy out then you can play the silent game. tell him that if he is quiet the longest then give him a reward. let him draw or tell him he can do something he wants to do when he is finished with his homework. for the sleeping part tell him all the cool things he can dream about when he is asleep. like since he is a boy he can dream about the power rangers and having a really big monster truck and driving or having his own firetruck. if he has a favorite super hero like superman or spider man then say he can dream about being superman or spiderman's sidekick. so try this.

Definately need more backgound. However it sounds as if he has some anger issues. Perhaps you can keep a detailed written account of his actions and suggest therapy, I'm sure the therapist would find the diary helpful.

play hide and seek with him - you hide first and after he has found you - you let him hide then don't look for him for about an hour
