A sleeper is a headmate whose main role is to make the body sleep. They may be overall sleepy and tired most of the time as a result. They could have formed because the body was sleep deprived, or they can come with a disorder generalized with sleepiness[1][2], but neither of those are requirements. Distinct from a drowser[3] because their role is to sleep, not lull others to sleep.
