Map pressure is your ability to prevent survivors from doing something whether that be completing generators, healing, totems, exit gates, and etc.

Nurse can do this especially well because she can be in many places within a short amount of time.

So would it be fair to say that Freddy has bad map pressure since he has to put survivors to sleep, for him to interact with them?

well, it depends on how you play freddy, if everyone is asleep and you can put them is stress, thats map pressure

Well, my answer is more of a yes because he has to wait 7 seconds after he reached a survivor to apply proper pressure but Freddy does have 115% movement speed.

Freddy is an interesting study in map pressure. If you were playing Freddy and you stumble across 2 or more survivors working on a generator then Freddy can easily put both of them to sleep. While pursuing one of the survivors the second survivor needs to deal with that sleep issue. The whole time the survivor is trying to wake up, they aren't getting much if any progress done towards generators. That is a form of map pressure.

Now if the players are on voice communication and there is another survivor nearby, it won't take long to wake up the survivor. But at the minimum, Freddy is wasting 2 survivors time for a couple of seconds while still forwarding his agenda. So whether Freddy has good map pressure or bad map pressure really depends on a lot of variables.

What add ons is he running? Do the survivors have a deep understanding of Freddy? Are the survivors on voice coms? Did Freddy bring a mori? What map are you playing on? From my experience with Freddy, both playing as him and against him, he tends to have extreme games. Either he crushes or he is crushed. While DBD is very snowbally game in general, I feel that Freddy games tend to be even more so.

Couple of seconds is exactly what he's wasting. Roughly the same amount of time as he spent to put them asleep, is the time it takes them to wake up.

So, no. He doesn't really has map pressure. Even if he finds several survivors on the same gen. He has to wait every time he put someone asleep, before he can start on the next guy. 4 survivors on the same gen? By the time the 4rth guy sleeps, either the gen is done or one failed a skill check and woke everyone else up.
