A 2nd level MU has been swallowed inside a Purple Worm. Can he cast "sleep"? Will it work on the worm?

I would rule "no" for three main reasons: the target has too many HD, the MU doesn't really have enough freedom of movement, nor would he be able to concentrate while the PW's digestive acids were burning into him.

It would have to be a baby worm (4hd or less) and I would certainly allow it, although with humorous unintended consequences. (Like the worm sleepwalks and the party must pursue it someplace dangerous to get their MU back.)

I think Cameron has nailed it. Thanks!

If he can cast his sleep spell (which may be doubtful if suffering damage during the round will spoil his spell) then the sleep spell must affect the number of creatures rolled.
The Purple Worm has too many HD to be a candidate, therefore the magic user himself may be the only available target. So he might succeed in sending himself into a slumber -- probably not such a bad thing considering the circumstances!

The Sleep spell suspends the worm's innards, temporarily suspending the creature's digestion (possibly saving the MU's life).
