I believe you can friendly fire sleep - it's got a smaller radius and it doesn't 'fill' but if you have allies in the target range and affect enough hd they will take a nap.
The text states creatures - there is no suggestion that it only targets enemy creatures at all. There is no text I am aware of in Moldvay that implies there is no friendly fire. Or are you suggesting that spell implies targeting because the area of effect is not listed?

The text (pictured above) does not imply friendly fire. The example makes no mention of it.
