none of them is correct, because a sleeping person cannot talk and never can such a sentence be said....
change the pronoun to he/she and ask the question again....

It should read I am going to sleep on the bed.

It should be: I am sleeping bed ke ooper. :D

Re: Proper use of english

Depending on type of bed, if there are no railings/headboard/footboard attached then you will sleep 'on' bed, if it has headboard/footboard then you will be 'in' bed'.
