语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、睡眠习惯描述 表示“睡觉的人”时，sleeper 为中性词，通常用于日常对话或描述睡眠习惯，如 light sleeper（浅眠者）、heavy sleeper（沉睡者）。正式场合也可使用，但无特殊文体色彩。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
keeper, deeper, sweeper and cheaper rhyme with sleeper because they all end in /ipɚ/; note cheaper is spelled -eaper. Be careful: sleep and steep look similar (spelled -eep) but are pronounced /slip/ and /stip/ without the final /ɚ/, so they do not rhyme with sleeper.
