“… den Schlaf”? Nicht “… dem Schlaf”?

No, accusative is correct here, it’s a fixed expression: jemandem (Dativ) etwas (Akk.) rauben – compare to: jemandem die Ruhe rauben. — ahh, I think I know where you’re coming from. You’re thinking: wir werden dem Schlaf geraubt, anders ausgedrückt: wir werden dem Schlaf entrissen. Es ist aber so, dass der Schlaf uns geraubt (weggenommen) wird.

Indeed, I am getting old. It’s been a long time since I have made English my everyday language.

No problem, I actually enjoyed checking that up (since I might mistakes, surprisingly enough 😉 ) and explaining it. Besides, it’s just one of those fixed expressions that would make sense with dative case as well, just a slightly different sense.
