Stupid Question about the Sleep spell

[Righter8]

Can't find anything official, and i am sure it makes tons of sense, but when affected by the Sleep spell, does the target (if they fail their save) fall prone and go to sleep or do they stand in place sleeping? Common sense says they should, but I need rules to back it up. Unfortunately, while helpless, it says nothing about falling prone.

The rules don't specify one way or another, but I don't know too many people who legitimately sleep standing up (other than horses).

If they were a species which does not normally sleep standing up, such as humans, I would rule that they fall down.
If you cast sleep on a horse, it would stay standing.
