Should it be: She sleeps calm or She sleeps calmly.

thanks
The word Calm only used to be one of these: V, N or Adj that it would not be including adverb one! So In sentence "She sleeps calmly" the writer describes 'how she sleeps' by using an adverb (Calm+ly) that can be looked upon as the qualifier word i.e. 'calmly'!
