Les Sommeils regroupent, dans l'atelier d'André Breton, les manuscrits de ses amis écrits en état de sommeil, ou sous la dictée d'un rêveur. Ils sont pour la plupart regroupés à la Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet, Paris.
« Sommeils (Époque des) - La fin de l'année 1922 apporte au surréalisme un élément neuf. C'est l'époque des sommeils... Il s'agissait d'aller chercher au fond du sommeil hypnotique les secrètes réponses du subconscient. 1922, année des grands discours hypnotiques de Robert Desnos, jours de Rrose Sélavy et de ses hallucinantes sentences où règne l'esprit vitrifié de Marcel Duchamp. » (G. H.) Dictionnaire abrégé du Surréalisme.
