We see that God covers their nakedness with coats of "skins". In other words... God slayed and animal in their place to cover their nakedness. This is an early type and shadow of Calvary. Your faulty interpretation unravels the fact that sacrificial atonement is typified in the very first story of the Bible.
Soul sleep is a doctrine of devils. A lie.

Adam was told 'ye shall die'. He was not told 'ye shall physically die, but spiritually live forever'.
God said 'you will die'. The serpent said 'you will not die.'
Adam, the LIVING SOUL, was going to die, according to God. If Adam was a 'living soul' (the Bible says so), then the living soul was going to DIE, according to God. but the serpent said Adam, the LIVING SOUL, would NOT DIE. So, God says the soul will die, the serpent says the soul will not die.
What say you? Oh wait, you have already staked your claim! The soul lives on! The soul DOES NOT DIE!
Adam and eve did not physically die the day... because God had mercy? hmmm... what did Jesus mean when he said 'let the dead bury the dead'?
I think that might open up an understanding on this subject for you.
