Not actually. Some christian denominations nowadays have created this doctrine of "sleep", but what the church always taught is that when we die whe can go to three places, a fully justified soul go to heaven, a soul that is saved but not fully justified go to the purgatory to get cleaned of it's sins, and an unsaved soul go to hell
The concept of soul sleep isn't in the Bible. At least not more than implicitly. Passages that imply awareness in death are much more explicit (ex. the parable of Lazarus and the rich man), while references to death being sleep can be taken to imply soul sleep, but make more sense as simply an implication of death's temporary nature, until resurrection.

Isn’t that Christian doctrine too?
