My bad, I didn't actually check the definition in kotobank, only checked it was really in there. Sloppy of me. Thanks.

Not sure how to treat "牛になる" in the lit, if the intention is sort of "then you're like a cow"

Isn't this about lying down in general rather than sleeping? The refs Nicolas shared all mention 「横になる」.
