"Sleepyhead" is the debut single from American electronic band Passion Pit, featured on their first EP, Chunk of Change. The single was released in September 2008. The song contains samples of "Óró Mo Bháidín" by Mary O'Hara and "San Francisco Scene (The Beat Generation)" by Jack Kerouac ("and everything is going to the beat"). Two different versions of the song exist with minute differences. On the Chunk of Change EP, the song ends on a fade out while on the Manners album the song ends with a definite stop.
