hmm. the standard menu doesn't have that as an option. you'd have to add it to 
the code... I can't remember exactly where that plugin lives, but the plasma-
devel list can tell you. :)
it would just be a matter of adding another action, like the logout one, and 
code to carry it out. if you're not sure how to invoke sleep, I'm sure there's 
an example in some other applet. iirc it was *very* similar to logout.

oh, and watch out for the ugly hack I did to set which actions are on by 
default.

if you want other people to benefit from your patch too, you can either submit 
it to the plasma team, or put your own plugin up on kde-apps.org.
