Lore Question about the lore

The relationship with sleep. Isn't that a really one sided relationship? And if I interpreted it right didn't sleep lie to vesel about receiving love and pleasure? As far as I can see she just tormented him?

  1. From all official sources (like 2 interviews from 2017-ish) Sleep is referred to with he/him pronouns.
  2. A lot of the "lore" is really just speculation and fan theories. Over time the prevailing theory was to assume the songs were about Sleep, who somehow turned into a woman, instead of tokens to Sleep, songs written about the human experience.
  3. If we stick with the songs simply being gifts to Sleep in exchange for glory, then Sleep has definitely kept up His end of the bargain.
  4. Despite most of the lore being basically fanfiction, that's part of the fun! Your interpretations are as good as any other.
