Somniphobia

Somniphobia is defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of sleep", and this condition causes thousands of people major distress every year. There are many reasons why people may suffer from somniphobia, as with any fear: they may have had repeated bad experiences with nightmares/night terrors as a child. Known by many names—somniphobia and fear of sleep being the most common—the problem often significantly impacts quality of life. It can cause panic attacks, and symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, irregular heartbeat and a sense of impending doom/dread.

somnophiliac

a somnophiliac (person with somnophilia) is a person who had a fetish for touching/caressing a person sexually when they are asleep or unconsious. This can also include sleep rape or oral sex which is understandable.

I think the main reason for this fetish is cause of the cute vunerablity of the sleeping person.
