A sleepover, also known as a pajama party or a slumber party, is a party where a guest or guests are invited to stay overnight. They are most frequently held by children and may be combined with a birthday party or other specific occasion. Another common type of a sleepover is a lock-in, where the participants stay at a public place. In the UK, teenage boys sometimes call a sleepover a crash.
[edit] Common practices
Typical participant activities include staying up late, talking, eating and playing until they fall asleep. Sleepovers are usually held at one participant's house, with other guests sometimes bringing their bedtime paraphernalia, such as pillows or sleeping bags. Common activities include playing board games, having pillow fights, watching movies, ordering pizza, playing Truth or Dare, getting high, or building forts out of pillows and blankets, playing video games, or, for girls, having a "spa night", in which girls polish their nails and toes and put on face masks. Sleepovers are practiced by both girls and boys,more commonly by girls. Mostly pre-teen or teen, and usually by same-sex friends.
