Does Assist activate Sleep Clause?

Question

But here is my real question, does assist cause sleep cause? I couldn't tell on the smogon rules. The wording is weird

Answer 1

If Assist selects Rest, and one of your Pokemon are asleep, this will not activate Sleep Clause.
If it selects a sleep inducing move like Spore and targets the opponent who has a Pokemon asleep already, Sleep Clause is active.
