SLEEPY is one of the seven dwarfs in Disney's 1937 animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Sleepy gets his name from his perpetual drowsiness. He is typically less concerned about what's going on around him, and more so on taking a nap. True to his name, Sleepy is always weary, droopy-eyed, and is always eager to fall asleep. Most of the scenes featuring Sleepy showcase the drowsy dwarf struggling to keep awake in the midst of a colourful event taking place.

Though usually stricken with laziness, he is a hard worker, but also a bit of a bumbler, as he often finds himself falling into accidental physical harm due to his lack of quick motion, such as whacking a deer's hide trying to catch a fly, or smacking himself with a cymbal doing the same.
However, in spite of spending most of his time nearly falling asleep, Sleepy is apparently the most observant and logical of the seven dwarfs, whether he knows it or not. He was the only dwarf to make the assumption that the Evil Queen may be attacking Snow White at the cottage when the forest animals frantically interrupted the dwarfs' mine work.
