slumberers
Those who doze
Slumberers are people who are sleeping or, more figuratively, those who remain unaware or inactive.
The word carries a literary or poetic quality: The noise woke the slumberers upstairs.
It can suggest peaceful rest or, metaphorically, obliviousness to important matters: The slumberers will wake when the crisis arrives.
