sleeps

Lies in bed

Sleeps is the third-person singular of sleep—to rest in an unconscious state: She sleeps until noon on weekends.

It also describes capacity: a tent that sleeps four can accommodate that many.

As a noun, sleeps counts nights until an event, common in children's speech: Only three more sleeps until Christmas!
