A sleeping gas trap puts you to sleep for up to 25 turns, unless you have sleep resistance or are polymorphed into a naturally breathless monster. An amulet of magical breathing does not protect you. [1]
Monsters, including your steed, are also subject to the trap's effect.[2] [3]

Removal
Dig a pit into the ground while standing on the trap, then fill the pit.
