The two ended up separated, and Hulk ended up in an irradiated cocoon, one that killed Hulk completely, which led to a new Hulk being horn.
Considering the Hulk is powerful enough to beat up a God it shouldn't come as a surprise that when the Hulk finally corners the God of Sleep, he kills him without breaking a sweat. Related: The Hulk is Secretly A Mathematical Genius (Seriously).
