How do you say, "I am also going to sleep" in German? Ich werde auch schlafen oder Ich bin auch zu schlafen gehe?

Ich werde auch schlafen. (possible, but unusual) Ich werde (!) auch schlafen gehen. Ich gehe (jetzt) auch schlafen. There's a tendency in German to replace future with present if it is obvious from the context or construction (gehen + verb) that the action will take place in the future. Also note that "gehen + infinitive" is a special construction (go to some place and then start doing something) and not the same as "going to do s.th." in English. Also, "schlafen gehen" is a very common combination.
