- Sleepover is also the name of a 2004 movie: Sleepover.
A sleepover (also called a slumber party) is a type of party which a guest or guests are invited
to another's house to stay overnight. For the most part, participants are children or adolescents of the same
sex. A pajama party (also spelled
pyjama party) is a specific type with some focus on the clothing worn. The
participants typically stay up late, and talk and play until they fall asleep. These are usually held at one of the participant's
homes with other children bringing their own pillows and other bedtime paraphernalia much of the time. Sometimes children will
play board games, watch movies, or
engage in pillow fights. They are primarily held in Western cultures, and are considered fun by many children.
There are also sleepover parties for adults. These are often a fun form of regression, and sometimes have sexual overtones.
