What does he mean by this?
The expression "to sleep on an issue" or "to sleep on a problem" means to sleep before giving one's decision. We might say "Bruno slept on the issue of firing Bob, and the next morning he decided not to."
Although the idiom Bruno uses does mention a "bed", it does not suggest that Bruno is too "tired" to deal with the issue or situation.
"To put a matter to bed" means to resolve an issue, not that one is "sick and tired" of it. To be "sick and tired" of something is "to be fed up with it", or to frustrated with it.
The idiom "to put a matter to bed" or "to put a matter to rest" means to "conclude" or "resolve" an issue. Bruno is expressing that he wants to come to a final decision to effectively end the company's debate over subcontracting and labor issues.
Excerpt: But now it's time we put this matter to bed.
