I saw 'The Shining' in eighth grade. I watched it on VHS at a sleepover and was petrified, totally petrified. And I didn't really start to digest the movie properly and understand it from a filmmaking perspective until I got older. But it pretty much defined what it meant to be scared of a movie for me.

Elle Fanning

When I do a movie, that's just a couple months out of my year and out of my life. All the other months I'm just at home, running around doing errands with my mom and going to sleepovers. I feel like I have that side of my life, and then I also do the films - which is just sort of a plus.

American Actress

Jennifer Lawrence

As hard as it is and as tired as I am, I force myself to get dinner at least once a week with my girlfriends, or have a sleepover. Otherwise my life is just work.

iO Tillett Wright

At sleepovers I would have panic attacks trying to break it to girls that they didn't want to kiss me without outing myself.

American Artist

Vanessa Bayer

It's totally my dream job. I grew up watching 'Saturday Night Live.' We'd watch it at sleepover parties and quote it.

Peyton List

If I'm having a sleepover with my friends, they make fun of me because I take an hour to get ready before bed!

Alexa Vega

Well, because I'm naturally a tomboy, when I have sleepovers with girls, they end up going home and crying.

Scott Ellis

The night before 'The Elephant Man' opened, we had a sleepover for 12 kids. Being organized is the key.

Jessica Rothe

I remember the first scary movie I ever watched was 'Scream,' and I watched it at a sleepover.

Abigail Breslin

Sleepovers generally imply fun activities like games, movies, or chatting late into the night.

Usually Fun

Sleepovers are typically planned in advance rather than being last-minute arrangements.

Often Planned

Sleepovers are more common among children and teenagers than adults.

Age Group

A sleepover doesn't necessarily involve a party; it may just mean staying overnight.

Casual Visit

Sleepovers can also occur within a family setting, like with cousins or grandparents.

Family Connection

Staying over after a social event doesn't always count as a sleepover.

Non-party

 But today, not only does the word mean something different -- a sickening for a lost time rather than a lost place -- but homesickness itself is seen as less serious, sort of downgraded from something you could die from to something you're mainly worried your kid might be suffering from at a sleepover.
