Definition
People or animals that are asleep, or train cars with beds for sleeping on long-distance journeys.
Etymology
From Old English slǣpere, combining sleep + -er (one who performs an action); as a railroad term, it emerged in the 1800s when long-distance trains first offered sleeping accommodations.
Kelly Says
Sleeper trains were so glamorous that they created entire cultures of railway workers and travelers—the British '41 Club' members famously used sleeper trains to meet for late-night conversations, and many famous authors wrote about them.
