Is the idea of soul sleep for non saints biblical?

The Bible shows that Mary is in Heaven as the Ark of the Covenant in Rev 11:19, and the martyrs crying out to God for vengeance under the altar (Rev 6:9), as well as the prayers of the saints being offered as incense (Rev 8:4) so Mary and the saints are in Heaven, but what about non saints- people who haven’t been perfected in this life? Do they experience sleep as in they die and wake up to the final judgement at once or are they judged before the final judgement? Would appreciate answers from different view points (Catholic- purgatorial, orthodox, Protestant- non-purgatorial) as long as it can be deduced from scripture.
