Can a creature with hexproof be affected by a spell like Sleep?
For example I played Emrakul, the Promised End and equipped the Swiftfoot Boots to it then on the next turn my opponent played Sleep. Does Emrakul, the Promised End get tapped or does the hexproof prevent that?

          Yes.



          Hexproof prevents a creature from being targeted. Targetting is a very specific action in Magic, and only happens in two cases:



          1) A spell or ability has the word "target" in its text.



          2) You are casting an Aura Enchantment.



          In either of those cases, you cannot choose your opponent's hexproof creature as the target. But any affect that does not target will affect the hexproof creature just like it would any other creature.



          Sleep does not target, so it will affect Emrakul.
