    I guess i don't have it, that sleep key, so:

    -Maybe instal drivers and set a different function for that key .

    OR

    Get a needle and take the key off ; D

    Get another keyboard, a non multimedia one is most recommended.

    You may be able to disable it in the keyboard options in your control panel.

    You could also see if you could get an AutoHotkeys script to disable it?

    stick something under it to prevent it from being pressed.
