slumberer

One who rests

A slumberer is one who slumbers—someone sleeping or in a drowsy, inactive state.

The word is literary and old-fashioned, appearing mostly in poetry and elevated prose: The slumberers stirred as dawn broke through the curtains.

It can describe anyone in peaceful repose or, figuratively, someone unaware of what's happening around them.
