Hundreds thousands of Buddhas
Rising from the ebb
One by one
All enlightened
Never uttering a single word
Never sleeping or dreaming
unfolding like a lotus.......

Buddha was enlightened by sitting under a tree not while sleeping. The sleep part came after the enlightenment. You can try that too. Sit under a tree and get enlightened.
Buddha was enlightened that why he went to sleep. An enlightened person is a sleepy person...that's why.....Aaaaaah...I'm feeling sleepy right now....Zzzzz.

the sleeping would preclude the viewing
and a sleeping Buddha would indeed be a contradiction in terms

If you can 'see' it, it is a mind state. There is nothing for mind to 'see' in Enlightenment. It may occur when mind has abandoned all hope of 'seeing'.

A 'lazy' Buddha may be able to see it (only) sometimes.
