Sleepers is the debut solo album from Rapper Big Pooh of North Carolina's Little Brother. It followed on the heels of bandmate Phonte's album with The Foreign Exchange, Connected (2004). The album features contributions and guest spots from Phonte, Nicolay, 9th Wonder and Los Angeles-based rapper Murs. It begins with an audio clip from film director Spike Lee's 1988 film, School Daze, and features a few audio excerpts from Christopher Nolan's 2002 film Insomnia throughout the album.

On July 3, 2012, Rapper Big Pooh released Sleepers: The Narcoleptic Outtakes on his label For Members Only, consisting of songs that didn't make the final track listing of Sleepers.[1][2]
