Somnophiletos

A coined term meaning “one who is loved in sleep.” Derived from somno- (Latin somnus, “sleep”) and -philetos (Greek philetos, “beloved”). It serves as the passive counterpart to somnophile—the person who loves or is attracted to someone sleeping.
In that dynamic, the somnophiliac is the actor; the somnophiletos is the sleeper.
