sleepy heads
Those needing naps
Sleepy heads is a playful or affectionate term for people who are drowsy, groggy, or reluctant to wake up.
Most often addressed to children at bedtime or in the morning: Time to get up, sleepy heads!
The singular sleepyhead is more common and can be used as a gentle tease for someone who overslept or seems perpetually tired.
